Answer
A
gives ecologists an idea of the health of a community
B
helps indicate how the removal of a species is affecting an ecosystem
C
indicates what type of symbiotic relationships are present in an ecosystem
D
determines the number of predator-prey relationships in a specific ecosystem
E
indicates the effects of an invasive species on the ecological community over time
Explanation
Biodiversity measures the variety of life in a community, so ecologists can use it as an indicator of community health. Comparing biodiversity before and after a species is removed or an invasive species arrives can show how those changes affect the ecosystem over time. Biodiversity does not directly identify the types of symbiotic relationships or determine the number of predator-prey relationships.
