Question

Explain what would occur if the population of an animal such as a beaver, changes the environment and can increase the number of individuals in that area. In other words, explain how a change to an environment can cause an increase in an animal population.

Your answer:

Answer 1

Not sure if we have to use the example of a beaver, but if wolves are increasingly being killed by people in an area, it would cause their population to decrease, and the population of animals wolves prey on, such as deer, would increase, disturbing the natural balance of the ecosystem. There would be an overpopulation of deer.
