According to the video and the background information, what are the effects (direct and indirect) that elephants have on acacias? (Select all that apply.)   Elephants can feed on and destroy individual acacia trees not protected by ants. Browsing by elephants induces the acacias to provide food and shelter to the ants. Loss of browsing by elephants eventually leads to the decrease of ant colonization of acacias. Reduced nutritional and physical support of ants by acacias due to loss of browsing by elephants allows other ant species and stem-boring beetles to inhabit the trees.

Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.
