Ecosystem Changes and Population Impacts

“Imagine a disease kills off many of the grasshoppers in the nature trail ecosystem described in the video. Argue how this change would affect the squirrel population. Suppose a large area of trees is cut down in the neighborhood with the passion vines and gulf fritillary butterflies. Argue how this change would affect the butterfly population. A new, larger species of bird that preys on squirrels moves into the nature trail ecosystem. Argue how this change would affect the squirrel population.”
