The brown tree snake is a native species in Australia. In the twentieth century, brown tree snakes were accidentally transported by

ship from Australia to Guam. These snakes prey on birds, lizards, bats, and rodents such as mice.
The population of brown tree snakes in Guam grew rapidly because these snakes
had few predators and little competition for food.
Eventually, the snakes destroyed entire populations of small mammals and birds. The biodiversity of Guam was harmed
A scientist wants to improve the biodiversity of Guam by controlling the brown tree snake population. Which of the following should
be included in the scientist's solution?
All ships coming from Australia should be inspected to make sure there are no brown tree
snakes on board
A new species that can breed with brown tree snakes should be introduced into the
ecosystem
People living in Guam should move to new locations away from brown tree snakes.
Poison that is toxic to brown tree snakes should be placed with dead mice, and the mice
should be placed in areas with large numbers of brown tree snakes.
