Keystone species

Coyotes Coyotes are intelligent animals, their sense are remarkable and their sense of sight and hearing are exceptionally well developed. Coyotes likely show up during the hours just after sunset and before sunrise, they mostly show up in a well used trails. Coyotes are opportunists, both as hunters and as scavengers. They eat any small animals they can capture, including mice, rats, gophers, mountain beavers, rabbits, and squirrels, also snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, birds, and carrion (animal carcasses). Grass, fruits, and berries are eaten during summer and fall.-

If Coyotes were the keystone species of Hawthorne park, what would happen if they disappeared? If coyotes disappeared all the animals that coyotes eats would multiply into larger groups and would eat all the plants, seeds, and nuts. If the small animals eat all the plant resources, eventually there wouldn’t be enough resources for them to eat so they will starve and die.

If coyotes were to become extinct, the food source of the coyotes will multiply. Therefore, the food source of mice, raccoons, squirrels will deplete.

Bees Bees pollinate flowers and seventy percent of your fruits, seeds, nuts and vegetables. Neonicotinoids are \chemicals for crop eating insects which affects bee pollination side effects to others bees Without bees there would be no clothes, fruit, dairy products, or meat products. So humans will pretty much die. The average numbers of bees changed throughout the years, in 1945 the total number of bees was 4.5 million. Then in the year 2007, the number of bees decreased to 2 million.

Salmon Salmon die after spawning and this brings important nutrients to the place where they were born. Their death provides food for many species in the area. Salmon support over 137 species If salmon were to be extinct, bears and eagles won't have anything to eat, therefore they will starve and soon die!!! Salmon is a keystone species in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, supporting wildlife from birds to bears and orcas. Mice will overpopulate and some plants will be endangered.
