Iin a forest ecosystem, wolves prey on rabbits. the graph below shows that the relationship between the populations of rabbits and wolves over time follows a predictable pattern. a graph of population over time. population is represented on the y axis. time is represented on the x axis. a blue line is drawn rising and falling up and down over time, representing the population of wolves. a red line, representing the population of rabbits, is drawn rising and falling up and down over time with roughly the same shape as the blue line, but shifted slightly to the left. which of the following best explains this natural phenomenon? --answers-- a. the rabbit population decreases as the rabbits migrate to escape predators, and the wolf population decreases as the wolves follow their prey. b. the rabbit population increases after a decrease in wolf population because wolves and rabbits compete for some of the same resources. c. the populations of wolves and rabbits increase at the same rate when environmental conditions are favorable and decrease when conditions are unfavorable. d. the wolf population increases after an increase in rabbit population, and then decreases when rabbits are less readily available.
