When we have not eaten for a while, blood glucose levels fall, which prompts a decrease in insulin and an increase in glucagon.  

Low blood glucose triggers the alpha cells of pancreas to release glucagon. It prompts the liver to release glucose it has stored in its cells into the bloodstream. This increases the glucose in the blood. Insulin responds to blood sugar level opposite to glucagon. Insulin increases with high blood sugar.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The correct option is D, that is, THEIR FUNDAMENTAL NICHE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we are told that the expanses of the Great Plains, which was once occupied by the prairie dogs have been reduced in size due to increased housing and agricultural developments. This implies that, the habitat, which is natural to the prairie dogs has been reduced in size, in another word, their fundamental niche has been compromised.

Virty [35]
An area that was covered by a glacier

Primary succession is a method of bringing about fertility in infertile land that can not be cultivated. This method usually involves plant species known as "pioneer species", that do not rely heavily on soil nutrients but add nutrients to the soil. The land under the glacier is likely to be void of nutrients and infertile, so primary succession will be needed there the most.
