Abstract

Humans have caused immense disturbances to the Earth�s wild ecosystems. Here, I explain how these disturbances are impacting and altering the essential roles or functions of animals in these ecosystems. Population declines, as well as behavioural and morphological changes in animals as a response to disturbance, alters how organisms interact with each other. Since these interactions define an animal�s role in its habitat, such changes can have devastating impacts on the future of these ecosystems. © 2020, Indian Academy of Sciences.
