This passage is interesting to me as it reminds me of the final research paper I wrote for EVST 330 about The Pollinator Movement. People forget how important insects especially pollinators are to the health of an ecosystem and the overall food loop that encompasses human life.

From my knowledge I do not necessarily think this is entirely true. A lot of plant species strengthen an ecosystem as long as they are native. Sometimes more species mean that more species are susceptible to more invasive species because the niche they occupy is so  tiny, they can easily be overlapped and out-competed. It happened with the American Chestnut. Just some food for thought.
