A biologist studied a population of squirrels for 15 years. During that time, the population was never fewer than 30 squirrels and never more than 45. Her data showed that over half of the squirrels born did not survive to reproduce, because of competition for food and predation. In a single generation, 90% of the squirrels that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to 80. Which inference(s) about this population might be true?

A) The amount of available food may have increased.

B) The number of predators may have decreased.

C) The squirrels of subsequent generations should show greater levels of genetic variation than previous generations, because squirrels that would not have survived in the past will now survive.

Limited resources cause tradeoff between investment in reproduction and survival. There is two Animal species with similar size present at same habitat but different their life history as a following. 

A Species   -   Later age at first reproduction

B Species –    Large clutch size and low survival of offspring and adult
