#3 Save all the eggs next year, and the population will be well on its way back to normal. Same thing happened last year with the Monarch butterflies, whose population rebounded back to normal a year after being devastated by cold, rainy weather at the their Mexican wintering site. Same thing happens with ocean fish populations as soon as part of their coastal breeding territories are made into no-fishing zones. Darwin's theory of evolution is based on the fact that individuals give birth to many more than the environment can support. So if the environmental niche has been emptied, up to all viable offspring will survive to adulthood.
