As far as ecological webs go, if you reduce the number of a species, other animals which that species fed on will thrive. Other animals which fed on the animal killed by the pesticide will not, quite the opposite in fact.

Other than that, pesticieds aren't good. If toxins remain in an animal it will generally pass onto another which eats it. An ironic way of nature getting back at humans, if it goes all the way to us...

It might also be a selective pressure for some fast reproducing species like bacteria, causing them to evolve.

How might a natural pesticide produced by the sabal palm help other plants?

The natural pesticide produced by the sabal palm may help other plants by acting as a deterrent against herbivorous insects and pests that would otherwise feed on them. This can help protect neighboring plants from damage and promote overall plant health within the ecosystem. The pesticide may also have allelopathic effects, inhibiting the growth of competing plant species and allowing the sabal palm and its neighboring plants to thrive.

What might happen if Bt corn affects non-target organisms such as beneficial insects or harmless insects?

If Bt corn affects non-target organisms like beneficial or harmless insects, it could lead to a disruption in the ecosystem balance. This can result in a decrease in biodiversity, loss of important insect populations, and potential cascading effects on other organisms dependent on these insects for food or other ecosystem services. It's important to carefully consider and monitor the impact of Bt corn on non-target organisms to prevent unintended consequences.
