I want to know the answer to the following question:
Are predator's effects on prey easiest to see in the short-term or long-term?
All the background I'm provided with is that "However, if observed over a longer period of time, it is seen that the population of a predator will correlationally rise and fall with the population of its prey in a cycle similar to the boom and bust cycle of economics.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
