If a sudden increase in parasites in an area attacked a certain population of bear, how would that affect the growth of the bear population?​

The bear population would become smaller in that area, especially since some parasites can have a big effect on appetite, behavior, and other things. The bears wouldn’t populate as fast, and it may become almost stagnant as a result. hope that helps!
