4.How do predators (猎食动物) affect populations of the prey (猎物) animals?The answer is not as simple as might be thought.The Moose(麋鹿) reached Isle Royale in Lake Superior by crossing over winter ice and bred freely there in isolation without predators.When wolves later reached the island,naturalists widely assumed that the wolves would play a key role in controlling the moose population.Careful studies have demonstrated,however,that this is not the case.The wolves eat mostly old or diseased animals that would not survive long anyway.In general,the moose population is controlled by food availability,disease and other factors rather than by wolves.
When experimental populations are set up under simple laboratory conditions,the predator often wipes out its prey and then becomes extinct itself.However,if safe areas like those prey animals have in the wild are provided,the prey population drops to low level but not extinction.Low prey population levels then provide inadequate food for the predators,causing the predator population to decrease.When this occurs,the prey population can rebound.In this situation the predator and prey population may continue in this cyclical pattern for some time.
Population cycles are characteristic of small mammals,and they sometimes appear to be brought about by predators.Ecologists studying hare populations have found that the North American snowshoe hare follows a roughly ten-year cycle.Its numbers fall tenfold to thirty in a typical cycle,and a hundredfold change can occur.Two factors appear to be generating the cycle:food plants and predators.
The preferred foods of snowshoe hares are tender willow branches.As the hare population increases,the quantity of these branches decreases,forcing the hares to feed on low-quality high-fiber food.Lower birth rates and low growth rates follow,so there is a corresponding decline in hare abundance.Once the hare population has declined,it takes two to three year for the quantity of branches to recover.
A key predator of the snowshoe hare is the Canada lynx.The Canada lynx shows a ten-year cycle of abundance(大量) that parallels the abundance cycle of hares.As hare numbers fall,so do lynx numbers,as their food supply decreased.
Predators are an essential factor in maintaining communities that are rich and diverse in species.Without predators,the species that is the best competitor for food,shelter,and other environmental resources tends to dominate and exclude the species with which it competes.This phenomenon is known as"competitor exclusion".However,if the community contains a predator of the strongest competitor species,then the population of that competitor is controlled.Thus even the less competitive species are able to survive.From the stand point of diversity(多样性),it is usually a mistake to eliminate a major predator from a community.

A.When hare numbers decrease,lynx numbers increase.
B.It has a great effect on the number of snowshoe hare.
C.It closely follows the cycle of the snowshoe hare.
