The effects of predators on prey do NOT include: a. Increased reductions in arthropod populations by bats when compared to birds b. Predator avoidance behaviors by elk in the presence of wolves c. Increased calf production by elk to offset population declines due to increased predation by wolves d. Removal of sea stars resulting in decreased biodiversity in intertidal communities

'Besides an increase in predation what other factors might be involved in the decrease in a prey population? depression in reproduction due to crowding increased intraspecific competition increase in the incidence of parasitism and disease increased resource partitioning'

Which of the following statements best describes the impact of a keystone predator on the diversity of its prey? A. Predation can lead to increased prey diversity at intermediate densities of predators B. Predation has no consistent effect on prey diversity C. Prey diversity is reduced at intermediate levels of predator density D. Predation leads to decreased prey diversity as predators increase in density from very low levels
