Dr. Pаrikh is evаluаting whether trоpical insects are gоing extinct faster than predicted by the backgrоund extinction rate. She evaluates population sizes and total insect species diversity during the wet season when insect populations are highest during the year. Population sizes are used to estimate the health of the population and how likely it is to experience decline. To estimate the background extinction rate, she uses the fossil record. However, the time period she uses for the background estimate was a period of unusually rapid environmental change and therefore unusually rapid species loss. Which of the following best predicts the effects of her methods on her conclusions?
