4. In 1878, seal hunters introduced rabbits to Macquarie Island, between Australia and
g g g g g g g g g g g
Antarctica. The rabbit population soared and the Myxoma virus was then introduced to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
kill off rabbits. It worked, but the islands’ cats, which had depended on the rabbits for
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
food, began eating seabirds instead. To save the seabirds, scientists started a program to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
kill off the cats. Twenty-four years later, in 2009, the rabbit population had exploded
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
again, and rabbits were ravaging native plant species and devastating the island’s
g g g g g g g g g g g g
ecosystem. This story appears to be an example of
g g g g g g g g g
a. sound, responsible ecological management.

some of the deformities in the frogs found in the ponds of Northern California?
