  1. Fossa (a terrestrial mammal in Madagascar) experience a population decline of 20% each time a cyclone hit a particular national park on the African coast, because their prey populations also decline rapidly. Usually, one cyclone hits every 10 years.

The primary causes of this population’s extinction were: a)...
