It seems you're referring to an interactive simulation or game that involves managing a forest ecosystem by adding bears and observing the effects on populations over time.
In a typical scenario where you add bears to a forest, the populations that might be negatively impacted could include:
-
Deer or Herbivore Populations: Bears are carnivorous and can prey on smaller mammals, which may include young deer or other herbivores. Increasing the bear population could lead to a decrease in these prey populations.
-
Small Mammals or Rodent Populations: Bears may also impact smaller animals that they can prey upon, which could lead to a decline in their numbers.
-
Bird Populations: If bears disturb nesting sites or compete for food resources, certain bird species may also be negatively affected.
To determine specific populations that were hurt by the addition of bears in the game, you would analyze the data tab where population trends are typically displayed after advancing the years. You’d look for population declines in species that would be expected to compete with or fall prey to the increased bear population.
If you have the specific data or results from the simulation, I can help interpret them further!
