Chapter 27.2, Problem 2CC

Summary Introduction

To determine:

In what way the ongoing evolutionary changes in prey and predator population will be affected, if a well-defended prey species arise that is difficult for the predators to catch or eat.

Concept introduction:

The struggle between prey and predators always keep on going. The prey evolves some features that allow them to escape predators and increase in number. The predators in turn also develop some features to counter the escape mechanism of prey. The prey and predator interaction in this way lead to their co-evolution.
