Apopulation of 400 mexican free-tailed bats roost inside a cave and forage for food at night. they primarily prey on insects, like moths. the bats' predators include hawks, owls, and snakes. a female bat typically gives birth to one offspring per year. determine whether the scenarios will most likely increase or decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

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.  

hello there,

igneous rock formed from below the surface would have more crystals because

answer: because magma cools more slowly than lava

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
