Answer:
Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce
Explanation:
Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.
The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.
The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
Flying foxes disperse the Cycad seeds if the seed sometimes get swallowed whole.
Explanation:
- Cycads are gymnosperms they do not have seeds enclosed in fruit. Therefore the bats are not attracted to cycad fruit.
- If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
- Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.
