However, biocontrol agents can negatively affectnontarget species by, for example, competing with them forresources: a biocontrol agent might reduce the benefits conferred by adesirable animal species by consuming a plant on which the animal prefers tolay its eggs. Another example of indirect negativeconsequences occurred in England when a virus introduced to control rabbitsreduced the amount of open ground (because large rabbit populations reduce theground cover), in turn reducing underground ant nests and triggering the extinctionof a blue butterfly that had depended on the nests to shelter its offspring.
先翻译下标记的句子吧。看结果是不是我这样理解的:virus=> ↓rabbits A ; rabbits=>↓ground cover BA+B=> virus=>↑ground cover=> ↓open ground=>↓underground ant nests=>↓shelters for blue butterfly offspring=> extinction of a blue butterfly
所以这个example讲得是连锁反应(间接影响)咯?而之前example是竞争事物(直接影响)?
谢谢啦! 之前做PREP就有这个疑问的。没解决的话对文章理解不了。我1018考试!大家一起加油!-- by 会员 bettylll (2011/10/12 9:45:08)
