Which of the following would NOT cause population size to decrease? Question 24 options:

1. Increase in the number of predators
2. Increased birth rate
3. Increased death rate
4. A exponentially growing population outgrowing its food supply and crashing
5. Poor weather, resulting in less food being available

c. establishing proper sleep hygiene

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
