Decreases in biodiversity result in a loss of genetic variation. This affects the ecosystem in varying levels of severity. For example, if you lose a pack of wolves in the forest, in that group you lose a genetic line that can hunt well by scent, then the prey species of those wolves (such as rabbits) may increase, they will eat more vegetation, and drive out less successful herbivores from the forest.
