most states have deer hunting seasons designed to reduce the size of the deer herd before it gets so large that deer starve to death during winters with little food. how might having humans as predators rather than wolves be expected to affect the deer population?

a: the deer population would drop below carrying capacity since forest managers could choose to bring food to the deer.
b: the deer population would grow larger each year since humans can set rules about how many deer to remove each hunting season.
c: the deer population would be healthier since killing deer with guns or arrows is much less traumatic for the deer than being hunted by a pack of wolves.
d: the deer population would be less healthy since humans choose to kill the largest, healthiest individuals while wolves choose the weak or sick ones.

Populations of blue-winged warblers, a type of bird, migrate south in the winter and return to canadian breeding grounds in the spring. as global temperatures have increased due to climate change, spring has started arriving in the warbler's breeding grounds earlier in the year, before the warblers return. warblers now arrive at their breeding grounds too late to select ideal nesting sites and to feed on important early-spring food sources how are populations of blue-winged warblers most likely to be affected by the earlier arrival of spring? o a. populations will go extinct since the warblers will stop migrating to breeding grounds. b. populations will be unaffected since most species can quickly adapt to effects of climate change. c. populations will increase since warmer temperatures are generally beneficial to survival, d. populations will decline since individuals will be less likely to successfully reproduce, reset next
