In general, what impact should increasing the relative prey (rabbit) reproduction level have on the amount of predators (wolves) over time?

Answer 1

Increasing the relative prey reproduction level should lead to an increase in the amount of predators over time. As the rabbit population increases, there will be more food available for the wolves to eat, allowing them to reproduce and maintain larger populations. However, this increase in predator population may eventually lead to a decrease in prey population due to the increased pressure on the rabbit population, thereby leading to a decrease in the predator population as well. This relationship between predator and prey populations is known as the predator-prey cycle, where the populations of each influence the growth and decline of the other.
