Green lacewings are used to control aphids, which are pests of many crops. A population of 1000 green lacewings is released into a farmer’s field. The graph shows the change in the population over time. The graph plots a population of green lacewings over ten years. The population grows slowly over the first three years. Then from year 3 to 7, the population increases greatly. From year 8 to year 10, the population stabilizes. What is the most likely explanation for the approximately constant population of the lacewings after the eighth year?

4.06 hc)a five-year review of threats to the southern resident orca population of the united states concluded that the top threats were prey availability, contaminants, and effects from recreational and whale watching vessels. further down the list are oil spills, disease, and effects from commercial vessels not targeting whales. how might this list be different if it were for transient whale populations, which have a larger average population size and live farther offshore in open waters? a)the transient population is more likely to be affected by contaminants. b)the transient population is less likely to be affected by whale watching vessels. c)the transient population is more likely to be affected by disease. d)the transient population is less likely to be affected by prey availability.
