Figure A should depict the interaction network of a large forestpatch with higher species diversity. Figure B should illustrate how the interaction network and transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi are different in a small forest fragment with low species diversity than they are in largeforest patches with greater diverisity. Eastern forests are diverse communities in which many species interact with one another. Your figure will be asimplified interaction network showing some of the most important species related to the ecology of Lyme disease. Remember that your goal is to illustrate how increasing fragmentation affects forest mammal communities in a way that increases Lyme disease risk.• Choose from the following species for your figure: black-legged tick, white-footed mouse, raccoon, eastern chipmunk, gray squirrel, white-tailed deer,…arrow_forwardIn not more than 200 words or 5 sentences, explain why or why not shark finning used in shark fin soup can induce the destruction of the coral reef ecosystem.arrow_forward
