Look at the above graph and explain one full predator prey cycle using specific data. This should be a relatively detailed answer (my answer is about 8 sentences).
Sort the following into density dependent and density independent factors:
Ex = intraspecific competition
Effect does not intensify or vary as a population increases in density
Typically leads to a population reaching a carrying capacity
Ex = natural disaster
Ex = extreme weather events
Ex = disease/parasites
Effect intensifies as a population increases in density
Regulates population growth through mechanisms like intraspecific competition
Typically causes a logistic growth pattern
Density dependent limiting factors
Density independent limiting factors
Sort the following examples into density dependent and density independent factors
E coli is spreading throughout a population
Gazelle's are competing for limited food
Penguins are competing for limited space to breed and raise their offspring
There is a wildfire that destroys the habitat of many tree frogs
There is a chemical spill that kills of a large portion of a species of fish
Parasites are being passed throughout a population due to contaminated water
Deforestation is occurring in a rainforest that is affecting access to nesting locations for a species of bird
There is a drought that affects water availability for African elephants
Density dependent limiting factor
Density independent limiting factor
In a predator prey cycle what generally happens when the prey population size increases?
The predator population size also increases
The predator population size decreases
The predator population size stays the same
In a predator prey cycle what generally happens when the predator population size increases?
The prey population size also increases
The prey population size will start to decrease
The prey population size stays the same
In a predator prey cycle what generally happens when the prey population size starts to decrease?
The predator population size also decreases
The predator population size will start to decrease
The prey population size stays the same
In a predator prey cycle what generally happens when the predator population size starts to decrease?
