GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct response is: **It would decrease.** Increased pesticide use can lead to a reduction in the insect population, including grasshoppers, which are a food source for long-billed curlews. A decrease in available food would likely result in a decline in the long-billed curlew population due to starvation or reduced reproductive success.
