Destruction of the coral reefs will have no significant impact because marine species will prevent erosion.

The ecosystem will become less stable resulting in a decrease in biodiversity.

The marine ecosystem will become more stable as species find new habitats.

As new species migrate into the ecosystem there will be an increase in biodiversity.

The mouse population will decrease

The rabbit population will increase

The snake population will decrease

The lion population will increase

Stability will increase because organisms will all migrate to find a new ecosystem.

Stability will decrease because primary consumers will now change to producers.

Stability will increase because predators will be able to hunt more prey.

Stability will decrease because there will be limited producers available.

There is a decline in the snake that consumes native frog species.

The native frog population will also decrease.

The snakes will consume cane toads before they develop toxic defenses.

The snakes consume other native organisms, increasing biodiversity.

Creating artificial wetland habitats to support axolotl populations.

Implementing stricter fishing regulations to protect axolotls from accidental capture.

Establishing protected areas to prevent habitat destruction in axolotl breeding grounds.

Draining and diverting water from Lake Xochimilco for agricultural and urban use.

The ecosystem will become less stable because the large predator fish will quickly recover.

The ecosystem will become more stable due to a decrease in predators.

The ecosystem will become less stable due to an increase in smaller prey species such as jellyfish and small fish.

The ecosystem will become more stable because there will be an increase in corals since there are less predators.

The loss of herbivores will increase stability because no other species in the ecosystem are affected.

The savannah ecosystem will remain stable because herbivores are not important in the food web.

Herbivores will adapt by switching to a diet of insects and small animals.

The lion population may decrease due to a lack of prey, affecting the balance of the ecosystem.
