Question

1. how do scientists hope bringing back swift foxes will affect the great plains?

by helping other plains wildlife thrive
by reducing the number of coyotes
by increasing the number of insects
they hope swift foxes will have no effect.

Explanation:

Swift foxes are a native species of the Great Plains. Reintroducing them supports a balanced ecosystem: they prey on small rodents and insects, which controls pest populations, and they also serve as prey for larger predators like coyotes and eagles. This trophic balance helps other native wildlife species in the plains thrive. Reducing coyotes is not the goal, increasing insects would be harmful, and scientists would not reintroduce a species expecting no effect.

Answer:

by helping other plains wildlife thrive
