HELPP PLSSS :) American pikas are prey to long-tailed weasels. Which change in a limiting factor would increase the carrying cap
acity for long-tailed weasels in a talus field within an alpine tundra? A. increase in American pika population size B. decrease in American pika population size C. increase in the long-tailed weasel population size D. decrease in the long-tailed weasel population size
Carrying capacity is the idea that relates to how much population can an environment sustain before collapsing. Here, the answer would be A. increase in American pika population size because if you increase the food for weasals, naturally the population carrying capacity goes up because now the environment has food to feed the weasals which can contribute to increasing the carrying capacity (i.e. the environment can now handle larger population of weasel than initial condition)
