A team of scientists used mesocosms to investigate the effect of invasive species A and B on native species of frog, toad and newt that would normally be found in a wetland ecosystem. Their mesocosms contained the frog, toad and newt species in the absence of invasive species, in the presence of each invasive species individually, and in the presence of both invasive species at the same time. 20 mesocosms, set up on land in 400 litre tanks, allowed each condition to be replicated 5 times. Some of the results are shown in the graph. The error bars show standard error.

Which of the statements about the mesocosm experiment are correct?

  • It can be concluded that introducing species B to a wetland ecosystem would damage populations of frogs.

  • The mesocosms provide a realistic representation of the wetland habitat of the frog, newt and toad species.

  • The mesocosms provided a model that allowed data on the effect of the invasive species to be collected.

  • Invasive species B had a significant impact on all of the native amphibian species.
