Viruses can be useful If a species becomes over populated and the species is

struggling for food and space. Disease can come around and thin out the numbers
which lowers competition for food and space. Thus letting the rest of the population
grow and flourish. Environmental changes can greatly impact an ecosystem. For
example, global warming is melting polar ice caps. Polar ecosystems are home to
organisms such as polar bears, seals, and penguins. This is affecting stability by
destroying their habitat, which may lead to extinction.
