Pred-Prey

Predator populations slowly increased after prey populations increased.

Across 15 generations, we saw that predator populations increased how compared to prey populations?

The meadow will be repopulated with immigrant mice and weasels

In our predator-prey experiment, if you rolled a 2 and a Forest Fire destroys all organisms, what will likely happen in the meadow after some time has passes?

False

True or False: Chance events always decreased the Prey population, the Predator population, or both.

An increase in predator

What causes a crash in prey population size?

The maximum number of weasels can only be 100.

What is NOT one of the assumptions for our experiment in Predator-Prey simulation?

Weasels must have captured five extra mice to produce offspring.

What is true about the weasels?

prey

Which population show the first increase in numbers?

The meadow will be repopulated with immigrant mice and weasels

If you rolled a 2 and a Forest Fire destroys all organisms, what will likely happen in the meadow after some time has passes?

Your weasel will be fed. Your weasel will reproduce once Your mice will start with 20 individuals in the next generation You will have two weasels in the next generation

If your one weasel caught 10 of the 20 mice, what will occur?

The prey species would increase dramatically in number.

If a top predator in an ecosystem were to suddenly disappear, what would happen to the main prey species soon after?
