Suppose an ecosystem suddenly loses all of its consumers to a disease. Which of the following scenarios would most likely happen? A} Carnivores and omnivores would starve to death.
B} Energy would no longer enter the ecosystem.
C} The ecosystem would become overgrown with plants.
D} Plant-eating organisms would become abundant.

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.
