The mouse population decreasing won't happen when the snake trophic

level is removed.

In the trophic level below, the snake feeds on the mouse, the bird of prey

then feeds on the snakes.

Sun→grass→mouse→snake→bird of prey

However, when the snake trophic level is removed , the mouse have  fewer

predators which feeds on it. This enables the population of mouse to

increase in the ecosystem as those on top of the trophic level usually have a

smaller population to the others.
