- We don’t know. At least some species do better in fragmented forests, such as white-footed mice.
- CORRECT. Specifically, efforts to stop forest fragmentation might reduce the spread Lyme disease.
- We know white-footed mice reach their highest concentration in fragmented forests. But deer ticks might thrive even better in another environment, even if they still exist in fragmented forests.
