According to the video and the background information, what are the effects (direct and indirect) that elephants have on acacias? (Select all that apply.) Elephants can feed on and destroy individual acacia trees not protected by ants. Browsing by elephants induces the acacias to provide food and shelter to the ants. Loss of browsing by elephants eventually leads to the decrease of ant colonization of acacias. Reduced nutritional and physical support of ants by acacias due to loss of browsing by elephants allows other ant species and stem-boring beetles to inhabit the trees. video link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293sarrow_forwardPoaching of tiger is a burning issue in today's world.What implication would this activity have on the functioning of the ecosystem of which the tigers are an integral part?arrow_forward
