5. If you could only save five marine arthropods from a sudden extinction event, choose five different taxa splitting them between organisms that are economically important and those that provide important ecological services. Which organisms fall into which categories? Explain your answer. Is there much overlap between the organisms in these two categories? Why or why not might this be the case?
