Where does extinction happen?
Extinction happens when an endangered species is completely wiped out by human activity or natural disaster for example:- the Ice Age when the mammoths and the other animals which went extinct at the same time
How did the extinction affect other members of the habitat?
The extinction of a species can have cascading effects on other members of the habitat. It can disrupt food chains and ecological interactions, leading to imbalances and potential population declines for other species that relied on the extinct species as a food source or for some other ecological role. The loss of one species can create a ripple effect, impacting the overall biodiversity and stability of the ecosystem.
When does Interspecific competition occurs?
Interspecific competition occurs when two or more species-populations require some resource (typically food or space), but the resource is not abundant enough to support all of them at the sizes they would attain in the absence of the other species-populations.
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.
How would an ecosystem be affected by the extinction of a plant wihin a habitat?
That depends on the type of ecosystem. There are two answers to this question based on two conflicting and opposite theories that ecologists have developed. Neither is right or wrong; one may be true in one ecosystem, but not in another.Individualistic hypothesis:The structure of a community is dependent on abiotic factors only; species are independent of other species and are only in a geographical location due to nutrients, temperature, etc. The extinction of another species will not affect others.Interactive hypothesis:Members of a community are dependent on each other and are closely linked. Biotic interactions cause the community to work as a whole with each species doing their part. If one species were to be removed, the other species would be greatly affected.
Can humans affect extinction?
Absolutely ! The human race is the only animal species on the planet that has hunted other species to extinction.
Do dolphins face extinction?
many river dolpinhs face extinction(in Asia one species was declared extinct) and so do many other species
Why do organisms go for extinction?
1) because of the people destroy their homes. 2) because of the people who kills them. 3) because of the other carniverous animal eat the other animal for them to have food in order to survive
What is resource partition?
Resource partitioning is an evolutionary way for species to deal with competition for resources with other species. Species evolved in a way that allowed them to divide resources with other species to ensure their survival.
What are some positive things on species extinction?
It frees up ecological niches for other species.
What is the difference between extinction and extirpation?
Extinction is when a species is completely gone from everywhere on Earth. Extirpation is when a species is completely gone from one area, but still exists in other parts of the world.
What happens when two or more organisms coexist in the same niche?
If two species occupied the same niche, they would be competing for the exact same resources. The competitive exclusion principle states that one of the species would drive the other to extinction.
How can a limited resource affect the survival of a species?
When 2 species directly compete for a limited resource, only 1 will ultimately be sustained in that space. The other will die out
Extinct?
(of a species, family, or other group of animals or plants) having no living members; no longer in existence.
How has the extinction of the basilosaurus and the Haast's Eagle affected the food chain or other species?
Yes it has been affected
What makes a food web stable?
If one species goes extinct there won't be as many species effected by the extinction because there are o many other species to feed on. BIODIVERSITY;)
What is background extinctions?
A background extinction is the continuous extinction of individual species caused by climate change, disease, loss of habitat, and competitive disadvantages against other species. Background extinctions occur at a slow rate over time, affecting only a few species at one time.
