Explain how and why predator and prey populations change during Merit ?
Predators manage the population size of their prey through two methods: consumptive effects and non consumptive effects. What are the consequences of consumptive impacts on predator population? Use an example.
What are consequences of non consumptive impacts on prey populations? Use an example.
Define the following terms:
Predator
Prey
