In grasslands, goats are prey for both foxes and tigers. if the population of goats decreases because of natural causes, what are three possible consequences? there will be interspecific competition between foxes and tigers. there will be intraspecific competition between foxes and tigers. the energy received at the trophic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount. the energy received at the trophic level of carnivores will be more than the usual amount. there will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores. need this asap .

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
