Question

If a virus kills the entire coyote population in this ecosystem eliminating all the predators of the rabbit. Describe what you would expect to see happen to the organisms in this ecosystem in the next 5-10 years.

Answer 1

Yeah the rabbits would over populate

Answer 2

Hello!

The population of rabbits would rapidly increase due to the loss of their natural predators. Since rabbits are consumers, they will consume extreme amounts of producers (plants). Therefore, in the next 5 to 10 years, the population of rabbits would be a problem and the amount of producers would decreased dangerously.

Hopefully this helps! Hugs!
