An ecosystem on a remote island is made up of birds, rodents, insects, and snakes. In an effort to control the rodent population on the island, a new species of bird that preys on rodents is introduced. Which choice predicts the impact of the new species on the environment? O The rodent population will increase, leading to an increase in bird, snake, and insect populations. * The rodent population will decrease, leading to an increase in bird, snake, and insect populations O The rodent population will increase, leading to a decrease in bird, snake, and insect populations O The rodent population will decrease, leading to a decrease in bird and snake populations and an increase in insect populations
