Rabbits normally eat some grass as a food source. In a habitat, a new species of grass is introduced that out-competes most of the original species of grass. The new species of grass contains a chemical that is usually toxic and fatal to most rabbits. Assuming that all rabbits in this habitat will eat some of the new species of grass, how will the presence of the new grass most likely decrease the diversity of the rabbit population in this habitat?​

Answer:

Well The Diversity will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Grass Is Toxic to the Rabbit than the rabbits will either die from eating the grass, or they will stop eating it and need to find a new food source. this will lead to the to the rabbits that are resistant to the toxic grass being able to reproduce more and therefor becoming more abundant.
