How does over hunting by humans affect biodiversity?

Many groups, such as PETA and the EPA are completely against hunting. Hunting actually helps to keep the natural balance healthy. However, overhunting can have a terrible effect on the ecosystem. It can lead to the extinction of a species. Think about it like this, owls, cats, and foxes eat mice, voles, and frogs. Mice voles and frogs eat grass, wheat and insects. If suddenly, all insects died, frogs couldn't eat them, and would starve and go extinct. If forgs died, there's more food for mice and voles, and their population would go up. Eventually, the higher population wouldn't be supported because there isn't enough food, then mice and voles would die off. Then, owls, cats and foxes would starve to death because the frogs, mice and voles are dead. Eventually, it could work its way up to humans. When populations are too high, hunting is good.

How many prairie voles are there in Michigan?

Good question. During normal business hours, probably about 20,000, but most of them live in Indiana and only work during the day in Michigan. I don't know how to answer your question exactly, since you don't specify whether you mean how many prairie voles reside in Michigan or how many merely spend most of their days there. For resident prairie voles, I'd guess about 4500, give or take.
