- The population of the moose faced predation from a newly introduced predator, the grey wolf. This led to an increase in the death rate among the moose, affecting their population curve. Meanwhile, a mutualistic relationship between a flowering plant and a specific pollinator emerged, enhancing the reproductive success of both species.
- Intricate connections within this ecosystem continued to unfold. Parasitism affected the deer population, keeping their numbers in check. The decomposers played a crucial role in nutrient cycling, impacting the carrying capacity of various populations.
- As the population changes rippled through the ecosystem, an S curve emerged for the deer, reaching a plateau due to limiting factors. This, in turn, influenced the carrying capacity of the predators and indirectly affected the whole community. The delicate balance and interdependence of the ecosystem highlighted the significance of each species, reinforcing the butterfly effect that could reshape the fate of the entire community.
