The biological change caused by introducing the kudzu vine into the southeastern United States are

native animal populations decreased

native plant populations decreased

Explanation:

Japanese arrowhead is the other name given for Kudzu. These plants belongs to Pueraria. These are coiling,climbing in nature. These were introduced in US in 1876,for the purpose of preventing the erosion of soil. But, because of the growth rate of these plants at higher rates and the consequences to the ecology, it was removed.

The index of the leaves of these plants and the rate of photosynthesis process was too high for these plants. Because of the rooting of these plants affected native plants,shrubs and trees. It caused sever damage to the native plants and native animals in the ecosystem of forest areas.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
