Aspecies of malaria-carrying mosquito lives in a forest in which two species of monkeys, a and b, coexist. species a is immune to malaria, but species b is not. the malaria-carrying mosquito is the chief food for a particular kind of bird in the forest. if all these birds were suddenly eliminated by hunters, which of the following would be an immediately observable consequence?

Prevalence of malaria infections in monkeys from species B will increase

Explanation:

If malaria-carrying mosquitoes are the chief food for a particular kind of bird in the forest, the amount of malaria-carrying mosquitoes will increase when that species of bird is eliminated. If the population of malaria-carrying mosquitoes increases, the probability of malaria infections in monkeys of species B will increase, thus the prevalence will increase.

This is an example of a cascade effect. A cascade effect is a chain of effects than can be observed, and that includes multiple taxonomic groups. In this case, changes in the bird population will affect the malaria-carrying mosquito population, which also affects the monkey's population.

your answer is true
