What would have caused all five of your pet mice to die suddenly?

It is unlikely that all of your mice die suddenly of old age. There must have been disease/virus/bacteria etc that caused the death of the mice. One mouse probably caught it and introduced it to the others. If you had just recently gotten a new mouse and introduced it to the others without quarantine, it could have had an infectious disease that ended up killing all the mice. This illustrates the importance of quarantine when you buy a new mouse. If they had been eating the same food then it may also have been something they had eaten - they could have eaten something poisenous.

The pathogenic DNA from the dead bacteria became active when combined with the DNA in the live bacteria. When injected into the mice, this reactivated DNA caused the disease and the mice died.
How does over hunting by humans affect biodiversity?
Many groups, such as PETA and the EPA are completely against hunting. Hunting actually helps to keep the natural balance healthy. However, overhunting can have a terrible effect on the ecosystem. It can lead to the extinction of a species. Think about it like this, owls, cats, and foxes eat mice, voles, and frogs. Mice voles and frogs eat grass, wheat and insects. If suddenly, all insects died, frogs couldn't eat them, and would starve and go extinct. If forgs died, there's more food for mice and voles, and their population would go up. Eventually, the higher population wouldn't be supported because there isn't enough food, then mice and voles would die off. Then, owls, cats and foxes would starve to death because the frogs, mice and voles are dead. Eventually, it could work its way up to humans. When populations are too high, hunting is good.
What factors affect the populations in an?
One factor that can affect the populations in an ecosystem is that, if an ecosystem had owls with no predators, the owl population would increase and eat all the mice in the ecosystems. The population of the mice would decrease more and more.
