While discussing changes to Michigan ecosystems, a person on the news made the following claim: "Small changes in an ecosystem - such as introducing a new species, a small decrease in the population of a native species, or a snowy winter - are too small to have a large effect on the other
populations in an ecosystem." Do you agree or dinagree with this claim? Below, choose the response that most closely matches your understanding of
how populations respond to change
I disagree with this claim Small changes in an ecosystem can have large etfects on another population, but only if the population is directly
affected by the change
I agree with this claim Small changes in an ecosystem are unlikely to affect other populations
My knowledge supports this claim Small changes in an ecosystem can affect other populations, but only in small ways.
I disagree with this claim Small changes in an ecosystem can have large effects on many populations throughout an ecosystem
