Practice questions

In a temperate pond, larval dragonflies consume mosquito larvae. When dragonflies are experimentally removed from several enclosures, mosquito larvae density increases and grazing on algae by mosquito larvae increases, causing algae biomass to decrease compared with control enclosures. No other species are added or removed, and abiotic conditions are similar across enclosures. Which interaction best explains the initial decrease in mosquito larvae in control enclosures?
