Why are there more mice than lions in an african ecosystem?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I would think on of the reasons is because the food that mice eat has a greater variety, in the sense that while a lion may only eat meat and have to catch its prey the mice can eat without relying on other animals. Lions also have more competition between other animals like them for example cheetahs and leopards on the other hand a mice is more independent. On period where food is scarse mice can get on with eating what the earth provides like plants lions can’t.

The first insects to be attracted to a corpse are the _____. blowfly maggots blowfly larvae blowfly pupae blowfly adults looking
Alla [95]

Answer:

Blowfly adults looking for a place to lay their eggs

Explanation:

Blowfly adults are attracted to the gases and fluids of a dead body and usually lay their eggs on a dead body within the first two days after death.

The eggs then turn into larvae then enter pupal stages and then become adults themselves. Forensic entomologists can determine how long a body has been dead by the stage of development of the blowfly with the ambient temperatures that have been present.
