In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the correct response to the removal of a species would be:
disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
Low biodiversity means there are fewer species that can fulfill similar roles in the ecosystem. Therefore, the loss of one species is likely to have a more significant impact, as there may not be another species to take its place.
