Evolution Simulation: Predator-Prey Introduction: Need to add more….. This experiment is an attempt to simulate evolution by means of natural selection. Hoefnagels (2009) Natural Selection is defined as the differential reproduction of organisms based on inherited traits. Hypothesis: Using the first fabric we expect the colors red‚ green‚ and black to have the highest population resulting from predator stimulation which will result in decrease or extinction in other colors in this experiment

the best suited traits for their environment survive through reproduction and they pass down those qualities to the next generation. Predator and prey share the same ecological community and they evolve together. Predation is the interaction wherein one species consume another kind of specie. The prey is essential to the predator’s environment because the predator will die if it does not have a source of food. A successful process of predation

availability of crops for the hares. However‚ the opposite of this may happen and the population of their prey or availability of their food source could drop‚ therefore affecting and decreasing the numbers in that specific species. For prey‚ in this case the hares‚ their numbers could drop due to an increase in their predators meaning more of them are required to supply for the needs of the predator. If there is competition for food for the Canadian Lynx‚ and another species use hares to hunt in the

Predator-Prey Relationships: Coevolution versus Escalation Species on Earth interact in many different ways (Abrams‚ 2000). These interactions have evolved over millions of years to become an incredibly complex web of inter-species relationships and understanding these relationships enables science to model future species interactions (Abrams‚ 2000). From symbiosis to parasitism‚ Earth seems to have every type of relationship imaginable (Dietl and Kelley‚ 2002). One of the most intriguing

in the mid-1990’s‚ the Tasmanian devils’ population has been on a rapid decline. As these devils are a keystone species of their ecosystem‚ their decline has allowed non-native predators such as cats and black rats to flourish and decrease the number of native prey. This effect is an example of the top-down keystone predator hypothesis. Due to the downfall of the devils‚ Australia’s once most intact faunal communities has diverted into an invasive state with severe biodiversity loss. Over 84% of

These math techniques are primarily used today in information technology to solve problems that present themselves such as those of efficiency. These problems can be solved by using graph theory‚ showing the relationship between

the Effect of Predator Reproduction Rate on Prey and Predator Population Question How does the amount of prey a predator needs to survive and to reproduce effect the total population of an ecosystem? Hypothesis If there is slower reproductive rate among the predator population‚ then the prey population will eventually increase. The prey will live and reproduce if it is not eaten by the predator therefore if it becomes more difficult for the predator to multiply the prey have an easier
