The graph shows the population of alligators and mosquitoes in a pond ecosystem where cricket frogs live. a graph with the title species population is shown. the y axis title is population and next to it is an arrow pointing upwards. the x axis title is year and the values 1, 2, 3 4. 5 are marked on the x axis. a solid slanting graph line is shown sloping gently downwards. a straight broken graph line is shown. a key is shown at the bottom right of the graph. next to the straight line is written mosquitoes and next to the broken line is written alligators. how will this impact the population of cricket frogs over time? decreases because the number of predators increases increases because the number of predators increases decreases because the number of prey decreases increases because the number of prey decreases
