What is mammal competition?
Mammal competition is a theory about the extinction of the dinosaurs. It says that mammals used up all of the dinosaur's resources, and then the dinosaurs died because they didn't have the food, space, and resources they needed to survive.
Whats are the causes of extinction?
An animal might be hunted into extinction. Some of the last Australian thylacines were shot to death, though the very last one probably died in a zoo. The passenger pigeon was hunted into extinction. Disease can also wipe out a species. The Tasmanian devils are threated by a face cancer. An asteroid (or comet) impact may have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. If an animal's food source becomes extinct, or the animal is driven from a key food source, that can cause it to become extinct. Competition for a food source can also lead to extinction, for example, if some other species devours all the food. It was once thought that the dinosaurs may have become extinct because little mammals ate all their eggs. Invasive species may step up competition for resources, driving native species to extinction. Also, extinction may be caused by a combination of these factors.
What the causes of food shortage?
1.Hunger 2.disease of malnutrition 3.deaths 4.extinction 5.starvation
What usually causes extinction events?
An asteroid from space, volcanic eruption, flooding, loss of food, or drought.
What has a greater negative effect on the food web the extinction of the aquatic plants or the extinction of the terrestial plants?
the extinction of the aquatic plants
Who is causing the extinction of the animals?
we the humans Remember that extinction is the rule not the exception. While humans currently play a part in the extinction of a number of species climate change, competition with other animals are primary factors in extinction. Other factors are a diminished gene pool and the inability to adapt to disease.
What is the word describing two or more parties fighting for the same food or food source resulting in one or all parties perishing?
Competition then Local Extinction Mortal competition Before,i plead to correct your question that is it a PRINCIPLE and not a word. The principle is called THE COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE.And it states that "No two organisms living in the same ecological habitat and depending on the same sources of food can occupy the same niche.This is because the stronger party will terminate the weaker on due to competition".
Why is biodiversity of the rain forest important?
the reason biodiversity in the rain forest is important because there is a chain reaction in the food chain creating a worry for extinction if we don't be careful we will lose hundreds of animals forever
Why is there competition in food chains and food webs?

How does climate change explain the extinction of dinosaurs?
a change in climate means that certain plants may not be able to survive. this then causes a decrease in herbivores, and then a decrease in carnivores because of the lack of food.
What animals hunted the Tasmanian tiger?
The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was at the top of the food chain. It had no native predators. The reason it went extinct from the Australian mainland was because of increased competition for food once the Aborigines introduced the dingo. When Europeans settled Tasmania, they actively hunted this marsupial to extinction.
What could the humans have done to save the 'Dire wolf'?
Little to nothing. Dire wolves did indeed come across the early native Americans, but they were competitors for food. Although this competition may have participated in the wolves extinction, it didn't entirely cause it.
