Yes, the cactus pygmy, specifically known as the cactus pygmy owl, can impact cactus populations. As a predator, it feeds on various insects and small animals that inhabit cacti, which can indirectly affect the health and growth of the plants. Additionally, by nesting in cacti, the owl may contribute to the physical damage of the plants, but this relationship is part of a broader ecological balance. Overall, the effects are complex and can vary depending on environmental conditions and other ecological factors.
