Roles of predation:

Maintains species diversity: Predators control the population of prey, preventing any single species from dominating. Example: Lions preying on zebras in savannahs.

Regulates ecosystem balance: Predators ensure a balance between herbivores and plants. Example: Wolves controlling deer populations.

Promotes natural selection: Predation exerts pressure on prey to evolve defensive mechanisms. Example: Camouflage in stick insects.
