Biology assignment and if I could get all these answers I'll mark you the brainiest. What happened to the number of animals over time?
What does he mean by his claim that some species are more equal than others?
Was it important for him to remove urchins from some of the tide pools but not the others?
What were the indirect effects of the removal of the sea otters that Paine described?
Why are carnivores critical to ecosystem structure?​

Idc about branliest just need the points to ask questions.  xD

1. Animals over time usually go ext inct, or lessen in population.  An example of species going extinct over time is dinosaurs.  These creatures were around for a long time, but went extinct eventually.  I thi nk they become a "Mono culture"?

2. Ro bert Pai ne means that some species have a bigger effect on the community than others do.  Here is some evidence to prove this claim:

- When he took out some species, it made no difference; unlike when he took out others and the community collapsed

3.  so he would have something to compare it with

4.  mo re se a urchi ns, few er ke lp, cer tain fis h/bir ds/inv ertebrates tha t feed on ke lp decreas e in po pulation

5.  they can have indirect effects on other species and the entire ecosystem.  With ut these ap ex  creatures, there would be ov erpopulation of sp ecies, w hich can re sult in oth er neg ative effe cts on ecosy stems.

Explanation:

xD That took me pr etty long, wo ulda hel ped if it was 20 - 30 points lol xD
