Keeley Misener's food chain!!!!!!!!!! [|**Bats**] **eat fruits from trees, a** [|**kookaburra**] **can eat a small bat, an eagle can eat a kookaburra****.

Keeley Misener's bonus definition and example!!!! Ü An invasive species is a non-indigenous species that adversely effect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically.** A [|new study of Hawaii's rainforests] finds that more trees aren't always better. According to the study, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, certain species of trees are actually destructive to the biodiversity that is the hallmark of tropical rainforests. Not only do non-native trees crowd out other trees, but they alter the ecosystem as a whole, changing soil fertility, available sunlight, and hospitability to other plants and animals.

​ small​​ bats eat fruits on trees,kookaburra eats the small bats, and an eagle will eat the kookaburra.
