Suppose you model the interaction between the elephants and acacias using a simple Lotka-Voterra predation model, where N is the number of A. depranolobium trees, and P = number of elephants. part a:  According to the model, what happens in the short term to the elephant and acacia populations if the elephant population is lower than its own isocline, and the acacia tree population is lower than its own isocline? (Choose one.) Group of answer choices Both elephant and acacia populations will increase in size. Both elephant and acacia populations will decrease in size. The elephant population will decrease in size, but the acacia population will increase in size. The elephant population will increase in size, but the acacia population will decrease in size.   part B:    Which of the following would make this simple model more realistic?

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
