in a forest ecosystem, a variety of predators compete with one another for the same prey. The

predators include wolves, coyotes, foxes, and hawks. Their prey include deer, rabbits, mice, and

the chickens that live outdoors on nearby farms and backyards.

Suppose that human activities, such as hunting, drastically reduce the populations of

the wolves, coyotes, and foxes. Which statement best explains a likely change to the hawk

population?
