Due to uncontrolled excessive hunting, the population of tigers in a forest has become zero. Discuss the long-term effects of this situation on the population of deer in that forest.

Answer»

If the number of predators (tigers) get reduced, the number of prey (deer) population will increase which will increase the pressure on the vegetation. As a result, plant population will decrease due to overgrazing. Little vegetation puts pressure on deer population and as a result deer population will decrease due to starvation, death or migration. Thus, ultimately the tigers (predators) will be affected.
