Question

A specific bird in the rainforest ONLY eats one type of worm and one type of beetle. What would happen to the worm population if the beetle population completely vanished. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Removal of beetle

Explanation:

If the beetle population completely vanished then sooner or later worm population will also start to diminish

• A specific bird in the rainforest ONLY eats one type of worm and one type of beetle which means the only food source of that bird is worms and beetles
• If beetle population completely vanishes due to some conditions then one of the two food sources of bird gets completely wiped out
• The bird will be solely dependent on worm for its food requirements and hence within certain period of time worm population will also start to decrease because of being the only prey to bird
