Red foxes are omnivores. Their diet includes small animals such as birds, squirrels, rabbits and mice, but also berries, grasses and insects such as crickets, caterpillars, grasshoppers and beetles. Red foxes are therefore primary as well as secondary consumers, and even apex predators. Their removal from an ecosystem would most likely reduce the predation pressure on small animals and insects, and may result in population explosions of these prey animals. This in turn may result in additional pressure on the ecosystem as these animals exceed the carrying capacity, and could lead to other plant and animal species within the food web being decimated. Basically, the balance of the ecosystem would be lost until a new equilibrium can be established.
It really is impossible to predict such a matter. I mean, think about it, its nearly impossible to think about how earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exsist, or if that heat never exsisted in the first place, because that is how planets are formed.
One thing is certain however, life wouldn't be the same without plate tectonics; in one case, the constont transgression/regression, sue in large part of tectonic forces acts as a evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. EXAMPLE: the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics, life would certainly be dramatically different.
~This is an edgucated guess. :) I hoped i helped. :)
Silent mutation and point mutation, the third C was turned into a G (point mutation) but this did not affect the amino acid it was supposed to code for (silent mutation)
