What happens when there is no predators to control herbivore populations in the Kaibab example we talked about in class? The population will expand uncontrolled until other predators move into an area. Herbivores will increase in population and will level off once the carrying capacity is reached Herbivores will populate and surpass the carrying capacity and then the population will crash once resources are used up. There would be no difference in the herbivore populations without predators present.
