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
Is hunting good for the ecosystem?
Hunting if controlled is good at keeping some animal populations in check. Over population by a species can cause huge problems with other species, if they eat all the food. But over hunting can also cause problems within a species. Governments try to control hunting though licencing, hunting seasons and regulations
Is Bottleneck events are always caused by the death of most of a species population?
No, bottleneck events can be caused by various factors such as natural disasters, habitat destruction, and human intervention that drastically reduce a population to a small number. While death of most of a species' population can certainly lead to a bottleneck, it is not the only cause.
What is the main cause for the species to be on the endangered list?
Poachers are hunting them when they aren't suppose to and the animals become endangered
Can hunting cause extinction?
Yes, hunting can cause extinction. Hunting destroys the animals life.
How can isolation from a species population cause a species to change?
Climatic changes resulted in a drying trend that has continued for the last 10,000 years. The extent to which a geological barrier can effectively isolate a population.
Why are whales endangered species?
They are endangered due to their current population and rate it is either increasing or decrease Main cause for some species like Antarctic Minke whale is due to hunting and many whales before were hunted to the brink to extinction but some able to recover after commercial whaling ban. Main cause is Whaling but Whales do die from ship collisions and occasionally from military tests in the oceans.
What is the cause of the extinction of the Bengal Tigers?
Bengal Tigers are not in fact extinct, though three sub species are. The cause of the extinction of these three sub species are over hunting, and habitat destruction. The same goes for the Endangering of the other six sub species still alive today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers
How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
How did human cause over hunting?
While humans have in some cases caused over hunting this is certainly not the case in most places. Many species are in fact over populated and should be hunted more extensively to give room for other, less competitive, species. One very common reason why many species are threatened is loss of habitat form deforestation etc…
What can cause species to become extinct?
Over hunting by humans Pollution Loss of habitat Loss of food supply Disease Natural disaster And sometimes just by natural selection
Why isn't hunting considered animal abuse?
Abuse is abuse, no matter what species, and abuse has criminal consequences. Hunting for food or due to over population isn't considered animal abuse to many, and many advert their eyes to such practice. Poaching or illegal hunting is animal abuse, because of animals endangered of being extinct. If animals becomes extinct there's a disruption in the food chain, and that will cause major problems in our ecosystem. Some believe hunting is abuse, but if it were not for hunting many species would already be extinct "including humans". Depends a lot on whether the animal wasn't humanely killed while being hunted or if the animal was abusively tortured before it was killed, that would be considered animal abuse.
