Predator-prey graphs show a time lag between population size changes; an increase in prey population leads to an increase in predator population, followed by a decrease in prey, and then a decrease in predator population.
I grafici predatore-preda mostrano un ritardo temporale tra i cambiamenti nelle dimensioni della popolazione; l'aumento della popolazione di prede porta all'aumento della popolazione di predatori, seguito da un calo della popolazione di prede e poi da un calo della popolazione di predatori.
| 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 |
