Lion and cheetah populations compete for the food source of zebras, and lions outcompete cheetah.

Limiting factors are those factors in the ecosystem which can limit the growth of population of a species in an ecosystem. Predation and competition are two limiting factors in the ecosystem that can decrease or extinct the population of a species. Predation is a limiting factor in which predatory organisms are dependent upon a prey organisms. This is natures way of limiting the surplus growth of prey population and to maintain a balance in ecological community. Competition is a limiting factor in which one or more same or different type of organisms compete for the same resource in an ecosystem. The one which is more competitive will derive those resources other than the one which is less competitive.

According to the given data, it is evident that the population decline in predator cheetah and lion populations because of decline in zebra population but the decline in cheetah population is more than that of lion. It explains the fact that lion is more competitive than cheetah in deriving the food which is already limited. Therefore, lion outcompete cheetah.

A species whose presence is critical to maintaining the ecological balance is called a/an _____ species.
kow [346]

Answer:

keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are indispensable species that are essential to the maintaining of the balance of an ecosystem, and also play a major role in the way species in the ecosystem interrelate. The absence or removal of a keystone species from a habitat or ecosystem would lead to the disruption and imbalance of the ecosystem, and as such lead to the extinction of other species.

An example of a keystone species is the bee. Bees are very important in pollination of flowering plants and also ensure their survival. This plants serve as home to various insects that are source of food to birds. The removal of bees from this ecosystem would affect the ecological balance of this ecosystem.
