This is a 28-year-old patient who presents today expressing anxiety over the fact that his father was just diagnosed with crohn's disease. his father is 60 years old and has had gi problems for many years. the patient says that he is experiencing some of the same problems his father had prior to this diagnosis, and he would like a complete physical exam to rule out crohn's disease. a complete physical was performed with no abnormal findings.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
