If you remove a species from a community, the population of its main blank is likely to increase.
00:10
We have parasite, competitor, and predator.
00:15
If you remove the species, then its predator will likely decrease, because if there's less of that species to prey on, there's less food for that predator.
00:24
So it will definitely not experience an increase, if anything, it will actually go down.
00:29
For parasite, it's a very similar thing, because there are, less praise for it to parasite onto.
00:36
For example, if a tick needs a certain organism to survive, and if you remove the organism, then the population size of its parasite will also decrease.
00:46
So we are left with b competitor.
00:48
So why is it competitor? because if one of the species leaves, then all of a sudden, the competitor has so much more access to the resources.
01:01
For example, if we have species a and species b, and this is how much resource they have, and they both are contending for this resource...
