Answer:

Decrease population and carrying capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a population of bobcats immigrates to the area, the population of hare and lynx decreases that also affect the habitat's carrying capacities for hare and lynx because bobcats feed on both hare and lynx. Bobcats are very aggressive in nature, and has an aggressive hunting style.
