Jamal investigates several interactions among organisms in a woodland ecosystem. He observes that coyotes hunt and kill white-tailed deer. He learns that lungworms live in the lungs of the deer, making it difficult for the deer to breathe. He also learns that larvae of nasal bot flies live in the nasal passages of the deer and cause them minor harm.

Suppose more coyotes move into the woodland. How would this change affect the other populations that Jamal observes? Explain your answer.
