The evolution of H. floresiensis is an example of island dwarfism.

Explanation:

H. floresiensis is a species of hominid. It differs significantly than the other hominid species in size though, as it appears to be a dwarfed version of its ancestors and close relatives. Its alleged ancestor is literary twice taller, which brings in the question as to what has triggered such an evolutionary adaptation.

This hominid species lived only on a relatively small island, in isolation. The resources are very limited, and the climate is warm and humid all year around. As seen in many species of animals, when individuals get into such an environment, they tend to experience either island dwarfism, or island gigantism. The island dwarfism tends to be common among large and medium sized species, while the island gigantism tends to be more common among the small species.

When the ancestors of H. floresiensis ended up in this environment, it was advantageous for them to smaller. The reason for that is that smaller bodies require less nutrition, and are also producing less heat.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

the order would be:

Carnivorous animal -> scavenger animal ---> autonomous living organism ---> decomposing organisms.

Explanation:

The lion would be the carnivore, the bird that eats the waste of dead meat would be the scavenger, the vegetable the autonomous, since it does not require an external energy source to live but synthesizes its own energy and finally the decomposers fulfill the function to decompose chemical compounds to give energy to the earth, which would be useful for the growth of other living organisms. This is how the chain meets the cycle of life.
