If a population does not have enough food, either herbivore or carnivore, what do you think happens?
When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy becomes new body mass
I believe it would be D
Herbivore population sizes decrease, and carnivore population sizes decrease.
Although im not 100% but it seems the most logical
Herbivores eat plants, and sense the plant population decreased, there wasn't enough to go around for so many so there were a lot less
And Carnivores rely on herbivores for their food, and sense there weren't as many herbivores, there wasn't enough to go around
Herbivore population sizes decrease, and carnivore population sizes decrease.
