    23%

    Explanation:

    The maximum number of individuals of a population that a particular ecosystem can hold is known as the carrying capacity of that particular population.

    As the reptiles living in the ecosystems, without the mammal species, had to compete less, hence there carrying capacity was more in such areas.

    There s a difference of 23% in the carrying capacity fir reptiles in the areas where the particular species of mammals were present.

    240 + 150 = 390

    240-150 = 90

    90 divided by 390 and then multiplied by 100 gives 23%.
