Summary Introduction
To review:
The type of species interaction that appears to have caused aphid population to fluctuate in size in the Figure 1, and the type of species interaction that keeps the
Given:
The fluctuation in population of Aphis glycines (soybean aphids) is more when its predator, Orius insidiosus (insidious flower bug), is excluded from environment. When the predator is present then fluctuation in aphids’ population is less. This information is represented in the following Graph 1:
Graph 1: Fluctuations in population of Aphids and their predators.
Introduction:
Population of some organisms differs over time and some show very fast life cycle. In population that has very fast life cycle, fluctuation in its population occur within a few minutes or days. The highly fluctuating species responds to changes that occur in their

- How is a clumped population distribution beneficial for prey animals? a. Being a member of a larger group provides protection for each individual from predators. b. Prey animals rely on each other to acquire food. c. Prey animals live in small family groups to raise young. d.
