Hello students, let us solve this question.
00:03
So, this question has many internal subparts.
00:06
So, we are solving the first subpart of this question, in which we have to explain how the decline in the population of amphibians is going to impact biodiversity.
00:16
So, to answer this question, we have to first know what is biodiversity? so, the simplest definition for biodiversity would be the different types of species, the different species found in a particular area found in an area.
00:41
So how will the amphibian population decline affect biodiversity by decreasing the number of different species found in that area? so decline in amphibian population will will lead to disrupts.
01:11
Disruption in the amphibian, amphibians, predator population.
01:35
It will also disrupt the prey population of amphibians and it will also disrupt the species diversity of that particular area, species diversity.
01:54
So, how is it going to affect the species diversity and how is it going to affect the amphibians, predator or prey population? so for species diversity, number of species will decrease in that particular region.
02:09
So number of species will decrease and this may also lead to decrease in the predator population of amphibians.
02:27
Now, if you particularly talk about the prey population.
02:32
So, for example, insect is a very important prey for amphibians.
02:41
If there is a decline in the amphibian population, then population of insect will increase.
02:49
So we can write insect population will increase.
02:58
And if the insect population increases, then the insect will destroy agriculture, will destroy agriculture, will destroy crops.
03:14
So this is how the decline in the amphibian population is going to impact the biodiversity.
03:21
Now let us look at the second subpart of the question.
03:25
Now in this part of the question, it is given that one third of the amphibians, their become extinct.
03:33
So, we have to now tell how will this amphibianless ecosystem survive if all the amphibians were to become extinct.
03:41
So, the only way an amphibian less ecosystem will survive is if the animals that are remaining, if the animals that are remaining, they were to adapt to new change.
03:57
If animals adapt to the new changes.
04:09
And what is going to change? the diversity or biodiversity is going to be like that the biodiversity will be different.
04:25
Will be different.
04:28
The prey population will increase.
04:32
Prey population of amphibians will increase.
04:39
And the predator population of amphibians like snakes.
04:46
Predator population it is more likely to decrease will decrease until they find a new until they find a new prey species again the predator population will continue to increase until they find new predators so this is how animal are going to adapt or amfemian -less ecosystem can survive only if they adapt to these new changes...
