An increase in the prey population provides more food for the , allowing more to survive and . This is turn results in an in the predator population. The larger predator population eats more prey organisms, causing a in the prey population. The death rate of the prey is larger than its rate. The reduced prey population can no longer support the large predator population. for food increases, resulting in a in the size of the predator population.
