Introduction of burmese pythons to a local ecosystem can have grave consequences, as has been proven in Florida. Burmese pythons are skilled predators, and they are not easily killed by other animals. If introduced to a climate they can thrive in, they will start hunting local animals. With little to no predators capable of killing them, they will flourish because of plentiful food supply, and they will continue to increase in number. They will decrease the level of animals directly below them in the food chain, which will then increase the number of animals and plants that had previously been eaten by the python's new food.
Basically, don't mess with food chains! :)
That statement is true
Due to extreme amount of heat, the rain water that falls on the dessert will quickly be evaporated. To collect more of it, usually the roots of the dessert plants are really close to the surface
If the plants are close to each other, they simply won't be able to collect any water, so they spread evenly throughout the dessert
If Janelle wants to prove her hypothesis on the uneven temperatures inside her house during winter, the next logical step would be to run an experiment.
