What usually affects wildlife populations through the availability of cover and food?

  1. Human activities

  2. Seasonal migrations

  3. Weather

  4. Predator populations

The correct answer is: Weather

Weather is correct because seasonal changes, such as temperature and rainfall, significantly impact the availability of food and cover for wildlife. Changes in weather can affect plant growth, which is a crucial food source for many animals, and can also impact shelter and hiding spaces, making it easier or harder for animals to find cover from predators. While human activities, seasonal migrations and predator populations can all have an impact on wildlife populations, weather has a direct and immediate effect on the availability of resources for animals. Additionally, weather can also indirectly impact human activities, such as hunting and habitat destruction, which can further affect wildlife populations.
