In a forest ecosystem, skunks eat mice, while coyotes eat both mice and skunks. do these two facts provide enough evidence to predict what will happen to the coyote population if the skunks all die?
a
yes; with the skunks gone, there will be too few mice, and the coyote population will decrease.

b
no; with the skunks gone, there will be many more mice, but this does not affect the coyote population.

c
. yes; with the skunks gone, there will be many more mice, and they will chase off the coyote population.

d
no; since the skunks also eat the mice, there may or may not be enough mice for the coyotes to maintain their population.
