Several things could cause it. A decrease in any predator that feeds on mice will cause an increase in mice population because less of them will be eaten by other animals. An increase in the mice food supply could cause an increase in population too, especially if lack of food was the main limiting factor of the mice population. In very rare circumstances, additional mice could be brought in from other parts of the world by humans. There are some non-native fish living in lakes because someone put some in there and they started to breed.

What might happen if the population of hawks in ecosystem grows very large?
there would be less nutrients for the plant.
In lake nosbonsing there were 85 pickerel before then 15 years later there was 359 what effect might the increase in pickerel have on other plant or animal populations in the habitat?
The increase in pickerel population may lead to a decrease in the population of smaller fish species that the pickerel prey upon. This can create a shift in the ecosystem dynamics, impacting the overall biodiversity of the lake. Additionally, the rise in pickerel numbers could affect the availability of food resources for other top predators in the habitat.
What chemical might cause the yeast population to enter the death phase?
High concentrations of ethanol can cause the yeast population to enter the death phase by disrupting cellular functions and metabolic processes, ultimately leading to cell death.
What do you think some density-independent limiting factors might be?
population, or habitat constrictions
What is a factor that might cause the carrying capacity of a population to change?
Environmental changes such as availability of resources, changes in predation pressure, or disease outbreaks can affect the carrying capacity of a population by either increasing or decreasing the amount of resources available for the population to survive and reproduce.
