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 you call ecosystems where species are endangered?
There are many things that can cause an ecosystem to become endangered. When an ecosystem and the species in that ecosystem become endangered, it is known as a hotspot.
How will the size of a predator population affect the numbers of prey?
This will depend on the specific ecosystem and the specific predator and prey relationship being examined within that ecosystem. If, as an oversimplified example, a drought caused a reduction in edible plant foods for a prey animal, the population of said prey animal may decrease. If the prey population decreased, there would not be enough food to support the current predator population, and a number of the predators would die until a balance was reached.The overall idea is fairly simple, however. If weather conditions are favorable to the increase of the population of a prey species, then the prey species's population will increase, all other things being equal. When the population of a prey species increases, then more of the offspring of the predator species can survive, allowing the population of the predator to increase. If weather somehow decreases the population of a prey animal, then this will also reduce the population of the predator species, all other things being equal.It is important to remember, however, that ecosystems are very complicated and it is rare that a predator will only have one prey item and a prey item will have only one predator. As a result, if a changed condition caused one prey species to decrease but another one to increase, the predator population may not be affected, and so on.
How does tigers fit into an ecosystem?
The tigers constitute the top carnivores in the ecosystem that is usually at the top of the food chain. Tigers live in Asia because Asia has lots of prey of foliage.
Are top predators keystone species?
This depends on the ecosystem in question. However, largely the answer is yes. Without the top predators, the herbivore layer (the layer under the top predator) can over-populate causing habitat destruction and causing great disturbance to the rest of the ecosystem.
What would not reduce the carrying capacity of an ecosystem for a particular prey species?
Fewer Predators
What best determines how many of a particular species of a carnivore con survive in one ecosystem?
The numbers of predators and prey I'm that ecosystem
An example of interaction in an ecosystem is?
If I'm not mistaken, it is any instance where two species have contact. Ex: a predator hunting its prey.
How do crocodile fit in with environment?
Crocodiles are part of an ecosystem, and can be considered an apex predator. As a predator, they contribute to population control of prey species.
Why are there more herbivores then carnivores in the ecosystem?
the carnivors keep the prey species numbers in check too many carnivors mean ultimate starvation
What does a large mouth bass do for its ecosystem?
As an apex predator, the largemouth helps cull the populations of prey species, keeping things in their proper balance.
What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
Why are species critical to the survival of an ecosystem?
Plants: They are needed to produce oxgen, and feed the herbavores. Prey: They feed on plants, and feed the predators. Predators: To eat the prey, and get eaten by greator predators You see, everything is needed to have a stable ecosystem. Now you must put into consideration, that if a lower part of the chain is smaller than the larger part, then the ecosystem would fail. You need more plants than herbavores, you need more prey for predators. It is a large cycle.
What would happen if the Indus river dolphin were to become extinct?
The prey species of the river dolphin, such as fish and shrimps, would suddenly boom and dominate the ecosystem as there would be no predator keeping their populations in check. Whatever those prey species feed on would suddenly decrease as there would be more organisms feeding of it. When one species becomes extinct, it can cause other species to also become extinct. However hopefully the ecosystem returns to an equilibrium eventually. Hope this helps!
What is interrelationship in an ecosystem?
The rate at which organic material is produced by photosynthetic organismsin an ecosystem is called What?
What do you call the a species that has a huge impact on an ecosystem even if the species is not very abundant?
keystone species is a species that has an unusually large impact on its ecosystem.
What happens to the ecosystem when a predator species is extint?
Typically, the species that it ate overpopulate, and the ecosystem is disrupted.
