How does the extinction of various species results in a less diverse ecosystem?

The diversity of an ecosystem is how many different species (or types of organisms) there are. If a species becomes extinct, then there is 1 less species in that ecosystem and there is less diversity. If more than one species dies out, then the diversity is decreased by more than one organism.

What factors generally cause mass extinction?
The factors that generally cause mass extinction are changes in the natural ecosystem of the species. This may make it difficult for the species to reproduce and to stay alive.
Which of these is not a way that reproductive isolation occure?
extinction of one speciesextinctionof one speciesExtinction of one species
What is the name for a species that influences on the survival of many other species in your ecosystem?
The term is biodiversity. High biodiversity means a large number of different species in an ecosystem. An ecosystem with many different species is less likely to be disrupted by environmental changes.
What is a group of organisms of different species that live and interact together referred as?
the answer is it can be ecosystem.
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.
Are there dominant species in a diverse ecosystem?
Usually yes
How does extinction drive evolution?
A mass extinction event creates a large gap in the biodiversity of an ecosystem or multiple ecosystems, which results in a rapid period of evolution of a range of different species that weren't particularly specialised to fill that niche.
What is true about extinction?
that an entire species going extinct is bad for the whole ecosystem
What ecosystems would have high species richness?
Due to biodiversity, a more diverse ecosystem will have high species richness, unlike a small non-biodiverse ecosystem.
What factors generally cause mass extinction?
The factors that generally cause mass extinction are changes in the natural ecosystem of the species. This may make it difficult for the species to reproduce and to stay alive.
If no members of a species are alive what is this species?
It's called extinction, and it results from natural selection.it means the species is extinct
How can ecosystem's change?
Removal or extinction of species, or just habitat destruction by an event (wildfire, human removal)
Are there other reasons we should save the gray wolves?
All animal species should be preserved. Animals all have a unique part in the ecosystem in which they belong, and the extinction of a single species upsets the balance of the ecosystem.
What will happen if you continue to pollute the ocean?
The world's ecosystem will theoretically shut sown, causing the extinction of every species on the planet.
Why does extinction of one species or development of a new one affect many others?
because of the interdependence of living things The extinction of one species or development of a new one often affect many others because of their interdependence in an ecosystem.
How might extinction of one species throw an ecosystem into turmoil?
An extinction of one species could destroy an ecosystem if an animal depended on the extinct animal for food. Then that animal would die off, which could affect even more animals.
What is the disappearance of a species from all part of an environment?
Is extinction the word you're looking for ?
