Rabbit

What most likely caused the differences in rabbit population between the Cold Spring and Normal Weather graphs?

• The cold spring weather allows for more food availability for rabbits.

• The cold spring weather has no impact on the rabbits' breeding season.

• The cold spring weather makes it difficult for the rabbits to reproduce as many new individuals in the spring, which is the main breeding season for the rabbits.

• The cold spring weather causes rabbits to migrate to warmer areas, reducing the population.

What is a likely cause for the difference in rabbit population between the Hot Summer and Normal Weather graphs?

• Rabbits have more offspring due to the stress of hot temperatures.

• Hot summers provide better food sources for rabbits, increasing their population.

• During hot summers, rabbits are stressed and unable to reproduce, and weaker individuals may not survive higher temperatures.

• Hot summers cause rabbits to hibernate, leading to a temporary decrease in visible population.

What is a density-dependent limiting factor?

• A factor that limits rabbit population and does not depend on the number of individuals in a population

• A factor that increases the rabbit population regardless of its density

• A factor that limits rabbit population and depends on the number of individuals in a population

• A factor that has no effect on the rabbit population

What is a density-independent limiting factor?

• A factor that limits rabbit population and depends on the number of individuals in a population

• A factor that limits rabbit population and does not depend on the number of individuals in a population

• A factor that helps rabbits to reproduce more

• A factor that only affects the health of individual rabbits, not the population

How does the Cold Spring graph differ from the Normal Weather graph in terms of rabbit population?

• The carrying capacity is higher and there is a larger population increase during the spring.

• The carrying capacity is lower and there is a smaller population increase during the spring.

• The carrying capacity is the same but the rabbit population decreases during the spring.

• The carrying capacity is lower but the rabbit population increases more rapidly during the spring.

Aside from unusual weather, what might be another density-independent limiting factor that could affect the rabbit population?

• An increase in the number of predators in the environment.

• A natural disaster, such as a fire, that endangers all rabbits in the environment.

• A change in the type of vegetation available for rabbits to eat.

• A disease that specifically targets rabbits based on their density.
