Question

the image below shows a jungle with birds and mammals. the leopards are the predators in the ecosystem. which limiting factor would increase the monkey population in the pictured ecosystem? decrease in vegetation increased death rate of leopards increased birth rate of leopards decreased birth rate of zebras

Explanation:

If the death rate of leopards (predators) increases, there will be fewer leopards to prey on monkeys. With less predation pressure, the monkey population is likely to increase. A decreased birth rate of zebras is not relevant to the monkey population in this jungle ecosystem. An increased birth rate of leopards would mean more predators, which would likely decrease the monkey population. A decrease in vegetation would reduce the monkey's food source and habitat, likely decreasing their population.

Answer:

Increased death rate of leopards.
