Responder

The correct chain of events following an increase in predators is: increase in prey - decrease in predators - increase in prey.

Explicação

## Step 1
The problem is about the dynamics of predator-prey interactions in an ecosystem. The population of predators and prey are interconnected, and changes in one population can affect the other.

## Step 2
When the number of predators increases, the number of prey decreases. This is because the increased number of predators will consume more prey, leading to a decrease in the prey population.

## Step 3
As the prey population decreases, the number of predators also decreases. This is because there are fewer prey available for the predators to eat, leading to a decrease in the predator population.

## Step 4
With fewer predators, the prey population can recover and increase. This is because there are fewer predators to consume the prey, allowing the prey population to grow.
