Are all introduced species invasive?
No, not all introduced species are invasive because they may have a natural predator that will eat them in their new environment. Also because the species can be biologically controlled, chemically controlled or mechanically controlled.
How does a predator increase numbers of species in an ecosystem?
When a predator reduces the number of one species in a habitat, the population of competing species can increase. With less competition for food, water, and shelter, a species can thrive and reproduce more rapidly than when it is being out-competed.
How would the introduction of a predator species affect the stability of an ecosystem?
The introduction of a new predator can have the species eaten with no time to evolve to defend against it
Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
What are predator species?
A lion is an example of a predator. A predator is an animal that naturally preys on others.
What is the population size of predator species directly controlled by?
The population size of predator species is typically controlled by the availability of prey, competition with other predators, and environmental factors like habitat and climate. The population size can fluctuate based on these factors, leading to dynamic predator-prey relationships.
The population size of a predator species is directly controlled by?
The population size (number) of a predator species is directly controlled by the availability of a food source (prey). The more prey available, the greater growth in the number of predator species.
The population size of predador species is directly control les by?
Bottom-up regulation is defined as the size of predator and prey populations that is controlled by the scarcity of one or more resources.
What is the formula for Species population 2 predator?
dN2/dt=r2N2
Are all introduced species invasive?
No, not all introduced species are invasive because they may have a natural predator that will eat them in their new environment. Also because the species can be biologically controlled, chemically controlled or mechanically controlled.
Does one type of fishes population affect anothers?
It depends if one species of fish is a predator to another and the population of the predator fish is higher then the prey fish then the prey fish will be lower in population
How does a predator increase numbers of species in an ecosystem?

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.
How can a new species with no predator affect other populations of species?
Their population could grow much faster, and they could compete with other species for food.
What type of growth curve is typically seen if no predator for a population of animals?
An exponential growth curve is typically seen if there is no predator for a population of animals or if the predator's population decreases. Without any, or many, predators to keep the species' population in check, the population may grow rapidly. An example is the Burmese python in Florida. Since it's an invasive species instead of native to the area, the Burmese python has no natural predators there and has experienced a surge in population.
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.
What is limiting fators?
It is a controlled process, such as organization growth or species population or size, or distribution.
