Answer:

A decrease in stability among populations

Explanation: if several species of carnivores are taken away from an ecosystem, there will be an instability among populations. Some of the factors that might cause the decrease in stability are that there would be an over population of the prey animal that would not be eaten by the carnivores and that the plant life would be in danger because of the over population of hervibores.
