Explanation:

Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline. They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp.

This is because eliminating them would cause a trophies cascade. The sea otter’s prey would increase, and the prey of that prey would decrease. Thus, otters are a “keystone” species.

What effect will the destruction of myelin have on signaling capability of a neuron? Why does this occur?
grandymaker [24]

Destruction of myelin will affect the nerve and there will be the less conduction of electrical impulses from the brain to other parts of the body and the nerve signal sent to the brain are delayed. These damaged nerve areas form sclerosis which disrupts the signalling capacity of the nerve. This may occur due to genetic defects, infectious agents, auto immune reactions and trauma.

In an ecosystem, can there be more carnivores than herbivores ?
vodka [1.7K]
There can but it will not last long. There are probably more carnivores because they were taking advantage of the supply of herbivores and now they will start to die off. So I guess my answer is no, not normally and not for a long time.
