The term that best describes the factor limiting the number of rodents the environment can support in this scenario is selective pressure. This is because the introduction of a new bird of prey acts as a factor that affects the survival and reproduction of the rodent population, thereby influencing their population dynamics.
Consider the following scenario:
You are a scientist observing rodents on the Galapagos Islands. You notice that the introduction of new bird of prey has limited the number of rodents.
