One might suppose that an earlier, longer summer would be beneficial for most species, because it offers a longer growing season for offspring. How might earlier offspring births in a predator species be detrimental to it?

Solution

organisms are driven to survive,so prey animals respond over time with physical and bahavioral daptations to all the natural forces and conditions that conpire to kill them.Predators respond in kind with adaptations that allow then to exploit the prey species. So althoght longer summers may provide optimal conditions for growth of the offsping, and lead to its utmost fitness.But earlier offsping births in a predator species leads to early growth of predators,which then attack on the offsprings of other species.so,natural selection is the ultimate arbiter,mother nature creates a balance which governs the biosphere,ensuring the survival of species.
