To test for the keystone species hypothesis, the wolves in another region can be removed or trees can be reintroduced to see the effect on the ecosystem.

<h3>What is a keystone species?</h3>

A keystone species is an organism whose existence defines an entire ecosystem such that them, the ecosystem would be severely affected or may not exist.

Trophic cascades are events which result in serious distortions in an ecosystem as a result of the removal or addition of a top predator.

To test for the hypothesis of keystone species and trophic cascades, the wolves in another region can be removed or trees can be reintroduced to see the effect on the ecosystem.

In which types of situations is the smallest unit rate the most desirable?
vekshin1

You should use the smallest unit rate any time accuracy is needed.  For example, if you are administering dosages of vaccines, you should use the smallest syringe possible for the dosage.  A smaller syringe will have more precise graduations than a larger one.  The same holds true for glassware such as graduated cylinders.  A 1000 ml graduated cylinder will probably not have a 5 ml graduation on it, and measuring out 5 ml with a cylinder that large would be guesswork at best.  A 10 ml graduated cylinder, however, will have graduations for every 0.1 ml, and would be suitable for measuring small amounts of liquids.
