Are mosquitoes a keystone species?
A keystone species is one that other lifeforms in an ecosystem depend on. Mosquitoes are a keystone species because they are extremely low on the food chain, and if they were removed from an ecosystem, the food supply would be interrupted.
Why do exotic species sometimes take over an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
How are native species and introduced species related?
Eventually, all native species had to have been introduced sometime. So, native species are introduced species that have been in the ecosystem for a long time, and it and the other organisms have adapted to each other.

What do mosquitoes eat and how?
Mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices, but in many species the mouthparts of the females are adapted for piercing the skin of animal hosts and sucking their blood. Female mosquitoes, however, need to nurture their eggs and they can only do this by providing the baby mosquitoes with protein to eat.
What is the mature community in the freshwater ecosystem?
A muture community is one in which all the species are well-adapted and stable. The ecosystem is healthy -- offering great amounts of diversity -- and not prone to extintion of any sort. :) !

How do plate tectonics help explain the presence of unique animal species on continents such as Australia?
