In this lab we looked at how populations of certain environments can directly affect other populations due to their place in the food chain. So if we look at the graph we can see that as the wolf population or the predators stays low the rabbit population increases tenfold. This means plenty of food for the wolves though, and soon the wolf population goes up at the cost of a decline in rabbits. As the rabbits decline near the end of the data the wolves go almost extinct letting the rabbits grow rampant in the biome. This is how the food chain works when one population of a predator and prey situation goes down, the other goes up.
