Question

Make a list of ecological consequences that you can infer have occurred on Guam due to the introduction of the invasive (nonnative) brown tree snake

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many ecological consequences that could have, or already have, occurred.

Invasive species are notorious for the chaos and destruction they bring upon ecosystems. As an ecosystem is perfectly balanced, a new factor causes this to become askew. The brown tree snake may hunt prey that is the main diet of a different species there. This may cause both the prey and native species to begin to die off, and if the prey goes extinct because of this, the native species will as well, unless they somehow adapt. Not only this, the brown tree snake is known for causing frequent power outages by climbing on electrical wires. They are the cause of the loss of 9 out of 11 forest birds native to Coco's island. They are causing a serious decline in birds, rodents, lizards, and even bats in Guam.
