The main predators of field mice in a certain ecosystem are rattlesnakes and foxes. suppose humans begin building neighborhoods in the ecosystem, driving out many of the indigenous rattlesnakes and foxes. what will most likely happen to the field mice's population?

When the predators of a certain prey are removed, the prey is then allowed to populate and grow (unless a new predator emerges). In the case of the mice, if the rattlesnakes and foxes are removed, the number of mice will increase. Mice are able to reproduce easily and without the threat of elimination by their known predators, their population will likely increase dramatically.

ANSWER: The mice population will increase without known predator presence.

Hope this helps! :)

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.

What are the options?
