The class discusses many possible solutions to the declining monarch population. One student suggests introducing a new species of insect to the field to eat the milkweed and promote new leaf growth. The teacher reminds the class that a new species could become invasive.
Which sentence best describes a possible consequence of introducing an invasive species in the prairie habitat of the monarch butterfly?

The new species disrupts the stability of the prairie food web.

The new species causes pollution that affects milkweed growth.

The new species is not able to escape predators in the food web.

The new species increases the total amount of energy available in the food web.

Which claim is best supported by the evidence in the source?

A drought would cause an increase in most insect populations.

Increased mowing will decrease new growth of the milkweed plant.

After reviewing their data and research, the students and school maintenance team decide to use mowing as a solution to the decline in the monarch population in the field. The students’ teacher reminds them that the biodiversity in the field might decrease as an unintended consequence of mowing.
Which solution would be most effective at increasing the monarch population and promoting biodiversity in the field?

Do not mow the field.

Mow the field more often.

Mow only some areas of the field for monarchs.

Mow the entire field only after the monarch egg laying season.
