Competition within a pack of wolves may increase if there is an increase in the?
Population
What is the cause and effect if the population of deer in a forest increases and the population of wolves in a forest increases?
Cause: An increase in the population of deer in a forest leads to more food availability for wolves, which in turn leads to an increase in the population of wolves. Effect: The increase in the population of both deer and wolves can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. More deer can lead to overgrazing and habitat destruction, while more wolves can lead to a decline in other prey species and potential conflicts with humans.
If the population of wolves increased would the number of caribou increase?
If the number of wolves increased, then the population of caribou would decrease. Wolves are a predator of the caribou, so the population of the caribou would drop if more wolves were around.
When gray wolves were almost wiped out as the wilderness was settledwhat happened to the grass and elk in some areas?
Yellowstone park had no wolves for a long time and the large elk population kept all young alder and aspin trees grazed to extinction. There were no young (alder & aspin) trees in the park. Wolves were introduced in the 70's and now there are large groves of young trees - this is due to a dramatic decrease in the elk population - due to predations by wolves.
How do wolves and deer influence carrying capacity?
That people hunt them and their is not many lift in the wild because people hunt them and not many are here.
Why declining wolves affect on moose?
Declining wolf populations can lead to an increase in the moose population since wolves are their natural predator. This increase in moose numbers can then impact vegetation abundance and diversity, as moose overgrazing can cause shifts in plant communities and ecosystem dynamics. Maintaining a healthy wolf population is important for balancing the ecosystem and ensuring the sustainability of all species within it.
How might disease in the wolf population one year affect the moose population the next year?
If there are less moose, then there will be less wolves because there isn't as much prey. If there are more moose, then there will be more wolves since there is an increase in prey.
Do wolves eat trees?
No.
Do wolves actually eat trees?
No they DO NOT eat trees. Elephants eat tree leaves, but wolves eat small animals.
How could the number if trees in a forest affect the size of a bird population?
More trees will increase the habitat of birds, so bird numbers will rise.
What animals will be effected if grey wolves are extinct?
One example is when over-hunting of the grey wolves in Yellowstone Park caused an increase in the herds of elks. The increase in the elk led to damage of the natural plant environment from overgrazing of the grasses and trees. The authorities have reintroduced the grey wolf to restore the natural balance.
Do wolves need trees to survive?
no not really
