Given:
Introduction:
To get the membership of a community, the organisms have to take care of the three factors:
1) The regional species pool and the supply of the species.
2) Abiotic conditions, which include chemical and physical environmental conditions.
3) Interactions among different species.

- Create a two-part figure showing the effects of forest fragmentation on the community of small mammals relevant to Lyme disease in eastern forests. Figure A should depict the interaction network of a large forestpatch with higher species diversity. Figure B should illustrate how the interaction network and transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi are different in a small forest fragment with low species diversity than they are in largeforest patches with greater diverisity. Eastern forests are diverse communities in which many species interact with one another. Your figure will be asimplified interaction network showing some of the most important species related to the ecology of Lyme disease. Remember that your goal is to illustrate how increasing fragmentation affects forest mammal communities in a way that increases Lyme disease risk.• Choose from the following species for your figure: black-legged tick, white-footed mouse, raccoon, eastern chipmunk, gray squirrel, white-tailed deer,…arrow_forwardGive at least two keystone species in the Philippines with their scientific name , what their contribution to the environment is, and what would happen if they are removed from the environment.arrow_forwardList and briefly outline the possible ecological consequences of introducing an invasive species.arrow_forward
