determine the role of a native starfish species in a coastal ecosystem, zoologist Robert Paine removed starfish from some intertidal pools and not others. He then observed how the community changed in response to the loss of starfish by comparing the diversity of the community in the pools where starfish had been removed to the diversity in pools where he had let the starfish remain. By removing starfish from some pools, what global change driver was Robert Paine investigating?      overexploitation     pollution     climate change     invasive species     habitat loss
