Question

Fruit trees in a forest are an important habitat for a bird species and were historically a major source of food for a rodent species. Over time, the rodent species shifted their feeding behavior from fruit trees to nut trees. As rodent behavior changed, the density of fruit trees decreased, which caused significant decreases to the bird population. What kind of effect did the change in rodents exert on bird population size?

Answer 1

Answer:

The bird population might have to migrate in search for food or may decline in numbers.

Explanation:

• This is a concept of primary producers that is trees and secondary consumers that is mouse and bids. Due to the decline in raw material available the mouse population declines and this also affects the secondary consumers that are birds of prey like hawks, owls etc.
