Population Size Predators Prey Decreases Increases Survive Reproduce

Front Explain the predator-prey graph.
Back

- TIME LAG BETWEEN CHANGES IN POPULATION SIZE

- predators consume prey
- prey population size decreases

- intraspecific competition amongst predatotrs increases
- more predators do not obtain sufficient food to not survive or reproduce
- predators die
- predator population size decreases

- fewer prey eaten
- more prey survive and reproduce
- prey population size increases

- intraspecific competition amongst predators decreases
- more predators obtain sufficient food to survive and reproduce
- predator population size increases
