As one this is removed from a food chain the whole thing goes out of wack, say mice go extinct what ever used to eat the mice will now have to find a new food source and whatever it chooses numbers will start to decrease and so on a whole habitat can be screwed over

∙ 9y agoWhen species become extinct their prey can increase their numbers because they are not being eaten. Predators of the extinct species may suffer because their food supply decreases.

What happens if the rate of extinction in a clade is greater than the rate of speciation?
Do your own hw
What term describe development of new species and mass extinction?
Macroevolution The development of a new species is called speciation.
Which term best describes the result of a new species evolving from an existing species?
Extinction
What affect do humans have on speciation?
As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.
What influence did speciation have on Darwin's development of Natural Selection?
The influence of providing an explanatory mechanism for what was obvious to Darwin; species arose and species went extinct.
Darwin's finches speciation how did the population separate?
The distance between the islands meant that the Fincehes on different Islands could not interbreed wich led to some extinction
Speciation caused by change in the course of a river is an example pf divergent speciation?
Allopatric speciation.
Types of Speciation?
sympatric , allopatric and parapatric speciation
What is necessary for speciation to occur?
Isolation Is necessary for speciation to occur.
Why does polyploidy not cause speciation or even be associated with speciation?
Actually it is.
Complete reproduction isolation is evidence that what has occurred?
speciation
What are key factors that lead to speciation in your oranism?
Speciation can happen for a variety of reasons, but typically it's some sort of environmental change such as changes in relevant prey and other food sources, changes in the relevant predators, changes in the climate (i.e. temperature changes, rainfall changes, etc.), etc. Speciation or extinction will occur as the eventual result of any evolutionary dead end; though the creature may fail to adapt (aka evolve), the environment is going to change eventually.
