A population of white rabbits and brown rabbits both live in a temperate deciduous forest where the summers are mild and average about 50°F. The winters are often below freezing.If warmer temperatures last longer into the fall and the average temperature in the winter is getting warmer, what do you expect to happen to the population of each color of rabbit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The population of brown rabbit will be increasing because, they will thrive and reproduce, while that of white rabbits will be reducing because they will be dying.

Explanation:

The brown rabbits are easier to spot by the predators during the winter season,while the white rabbits are able to spot during non-winter seasons.

Therefore, when  the warmer temperature last longer into the fall and the average temperature in the winter is getting warmer, there will be less snowfall in the winter,  there is a an assumption or probability that the brown rabbits are less prone to predation, while the white rabbits are prone to predation.

In this sense,the population of the brown rabbit will be higher than the population of the white rabbits.
