Plants, bison, elk, and wolves are all members of an ecosystem. The bison and elk are both primary consumers in this ecosystem, while the wolves are a predator. Over time, the bison completely disappear. Give an example of how the ecosystem may respond to this change, and explain how this relates to both resiliency and biodiversity.

With the disappearance of bison, the elk population may increase as they no longer have competition for resources. This may lead to overgrazing of plants, which can impact the biodiversity of the ecosystem as certain plant species may decline or disappear due to excessive feeding by the elk. Overall, this change demonstrates the importance of biodiversity in maintaining the resiliency of an ecosystem, as different species play unique roles in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
