Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes how the lynx population affects the hare population, indicating that lynx are controlling the hare population. As the lynx are the predator, this is a clear example of top-down regulation. Option A is incorrect as it describes bottom-up regulation, which would occur if hare population levels impacted the ecosystems and resources that they require. Option B is not mentioned in the scenario and cannot be assumed. Option D is also not supported by the scenario and is unlikely as predator populations typically experience a lag effect in their response to changes in food availability.
