An event happens that decreases the number of earthworms, spiders, and insects in an area. How would you expect the event to affect the number of long-billed curlews in the same area? (Lesson 5)
The event would likely have a negative impact on the number of long-billed curlews in the same area. Earthworms, spiders, and insects are important food sources for long-billed curlews, so a decrease in these populations would result in a decrease in available food for the birds. This could lead to a decrease in the overall health and survival of the long-billed curlews in the area, as well as potentially a decrease in their population size.
