Scientists have been studying the size of three populations in a grassland. In this ecosystem, hawks (a type of large bird) eat sparrows (a type of small bird), and sparrows eat seeds from buckwheat. The data showed that all three populations were stable. Then the hawk population increased suddenly. What will likely happen to the size of the sparrow population as a result?

Respuesta :

The sparrow population should decrease.

Explanation:

There will be less sparrows if their are more hawks because the hawks eat the sparrows.

The increase in the hawk population means they will be eating more and so there will be fewer sparrows.
