How  does inefficient transfer of energy among trophic  levels result in  the typically  high  endangerment status of many top predators?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Top-level predators are destined to have small populations that are sparsely distributed. 
  2. Predators have relatively large population sizes.
  3. Predators are more disease-prone than animals at lower trophic levels.
  4. Predators have short life spans and short reproductive periods.
