Practice questions

Refer to the ecosystem model: In a grassland, rabbits (herbivores) eat grass (producers), and hawks (predators) hunt rabbits. During a 6-week drought, rainfall stays very low and grass growth slows. Field notes show rabbit sightings decreasing each week, and hawks are observed hunting longer each day. Interaction outcomes can be predicted using evidence. Which outcome is most likely for the hawk–rabbit interaction during the drought, based on the evidence and conditions?
