so long billed curlews live in grasslands"?
Yes, long-billed curlews are typically found in grassland habitats. They nest on the ground in open grasslands and use their long bills to probe for insects and small animals in the soil. Increasing the availability of suitable grassland habitats would likely help increase the long-billed curlew population.
Long-billed curlews eat many different kinds of insects, including grasshoppers, as a source of food. It has been shown that pesticide use kills many of these insects. How would you expect an increase in pesticide use to affect to the population of long-billed curlews in the same area?(1 point)
