Figure A should depict the interaction network of a large forestpatch with higher species diversity. Figure B should illustrate how the interaction network and transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi are different in a small forest fragment with low species diversity than they are in largeforest patches with greater diverisity. Eastern forests are diverse communities in which many species interact with one another. Your figure will be asimplified interaction network showing some of the most important species related to the ecology of Lyme disease. Remember that your goal is to illustrate how increasing fragmentation affects forest mammal communities in a way that increases Lyme disease risk.• Choose from the following species for your figure: black-legged tick, white-footed mouse, raccoon, eastern chipmunk, gray squirrel, white-tailed deer,…arrow_forward

- What is the relationship between extinction, its impact on biodiversity, and ecosystems? When a species becomes extinct, the vacancy of that species allows another species to invade and transform the ecosystem so there is no longer biodiversity, which allows the ecosystem to flourish. The extinction of plants and animals leaves a vacancy in the biodiversity of the ecosystem, which can cause the ecosystem to collapse. The extinct plants and animals can come back as a different species, creating more biodiversity within the ecosystem. The extinction of plants and animals does not have an impact on the biodiversity of an ecosystem.arrow_forwardIdentify any five factors that can lead to species extinction irrespective of regime (open access versus private property) under which the renewable source is managed.
