Natalie is studying a population of Eastern Cottontail rabbits inhabiting a forest ecosystem. The population size of the rabbits has held steady for many months, but a wildfire has recently destroyed half of the vegetation that the rabbits use as a main food source. What will likely happen to the Eastern Cottontail rabbit population in this ecosystem?
