The Guam rail is a flightless bird found on the island of Guam. It builds a shallow nest on the ground and lays eggs throughout the year. There are no native species of snakes in Guam, so the Guam rail had no experience with snake predators until the brown tree snake was accidentally introduced sometime between 1944 and 1952. These snakes, which eat a wide variety of animal species, quickly established a large population on Guam.
How was the Guam rail most likely affected by the introduction of the brown tree snake?
A) The brown tree snake ate only species that lived in trees, so it had no effect on the Guam rail.
B) The Guam rail quickly developed the ability to fly in order to escape from the brown tree snake.
C) The population of the Guam rail declined, and the species nearly became extinct. D) The Guam rail began to build its nests in trees.
Answers
Explanation: B and D are wrong because the bird is flightless. A is wrong because there’s nothing that says the snake only eats species that live in trees. Therefore, B is the answer.

Are places in the United States using more pesticides to kill the new mosquitoes? If so, how are these pesticides impacting others in the ecosystems?
Thus, An ecosystem is a region where different species of plants, animals, and other organisms coexist in harmony with the environment, including the climate and geography.
An ecosystem is a place where several types of living things coexist to create a bubble of life, including plants, animals, and other species. Ecosystems are made up of both biotic (or alive) and abiotic (or nonliving) components. Plants, animals, and other living things are considered biotic factors. Rocks, temperature, and humidity are examples of abiotic variables.
In an ecosystem, every component is dependent on every other component, either directly or indirectly.
Thus, Are places in the United States using more pesticides to kill the new mosquitoes? If so, how are these pesticides impacting others in the ecosystems?
