What else can I help you with?
What is the comparison between existing species and extinct ones?
Existing species can be seen in the wild or in captivity. You can't say the same for extinct species. An extinct species has no living members.
What are the first organisms to move into a disturbed environment?
a pioneer plant
What are the factors that causes species dispersal and the factors that limit it?
Species dispersal is influenced by several factors, including environmental conditions (such as climate and habitat availability), biological interactions (like predation and competition), and the physical capabilities of the organisms themselves (such as mobility and reproductive strategies). Conversely, factors that limit dispersal include geographical barriers (like mountains and rivers), ecological constraints (such as resource availability and habitat fragmentation), and social behaviors (like territoriality). These interacting factors shape the patterns of how and where species spread across landscapes.
Are horses and mules different species?
no they are both members of the equis species. and the mule is a mix of a horse and a ass.
How are background extinction and mass extinction similar?
Both involve at least a few species dying out because of failure to adapt to the changing environment.
If the environment changes quickly and no individual members of a species are able to survive in the new environment then the species will what?
become extinct.
What factors would increase lynx population?
Factors that could increase lynx population include a decrease in hunting pressure, availability of prey species such as snowshoe hares, suitable habitat with dense cover for denning, and effective conservation efforts to protect the species and its environment.
What are the members of a given species?
Members of a species are individuals that share common characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. They are genetically similar but can exhibit variations due to factors like age, sex, and environment. The collective group of individuals within a species contributes to its overall diversity and survival.
Can you List the effects of autecology on environment?
Autoecology is the study of how different species interact with the environment. It is the study of how certain species change over time and space due to factors of the environment.
Why does variation increase the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive in a changed environment?
Variation increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive in a changed environment because it provides a genetic pool from which individuals with advantageous traits can emerge. These individuals are better equipped to adapt to new conditions, increasing their chances of survival and reproduction. This evolutionary process drives the species towards better fitness and resilience over time.
How does land affect the environment?
reduces biodiversity, increase heat changes hydrology loss of trees increase in foreign species.
What factors influence the evolution of a species?
The evolution of a species is influenced by factors such as natural selection, genetic variation, environmental changes, and reproductive success. These factors can lead to adaptations that help a species survive and thrive in its environment over time.
All the members of a species within an ecosystem are a?
all the populations in a given area make up a community. For example, animals, and microorganisms in a lake make up a community.an ecosystem includes all the members of the community (living or biotic factors) plus the physical environment (abiotic factors) in which they live.One step down From an ecosystem, which would be all the members of a species WITHIN an ecosystem, would therefore be a community
How does urban land affect the environment?
reduces biodiversity, increase heat changes hydrology loss of trees increase in foreign species.
What could cause a sudden increase or decreas e in the number of species?
Having a predator that preys on that certain species or something to do with the environment conditions
What are the characteristics of a species that allows its members to survive and reproduce in their environment known as?
These characteristics of organisms are called adaptions.
What factors have caused an increase in invasive introduced species and losses in global diversity?
Factors contributing to the increase in invasive introduced species and losses in global diversity include habitat destruction, climate change, globalization of trade and transportation, and unintentional introductions from human activities. These factors create opportunities for non-native species to establish and outcompete native species, leading to biodiversity loss and ecosystem disruptions.
