Species introduced to new geographic locations?

When species are introduced to new locations where they are not native, they are termed as "introduced species" or "invasive species." These introductions can disrupt ecosystems, outcompete native species, and impact local biodiversity. Examples include the cane toad in Australia and the zebra mussel in North America.


Organisms that were brought by humans from one part of the world to another are examples of?

Invasive species. These are introduced species that disrupt the ecosystem they were introduced to, often outcompeting native species and causing harm to the environment.


The measure that relates the number of species in a community to the relative abundance of each species is called?

The measure that relates the number of species in a community to the relative abundance of each species is called species diversity. It takes into account both the variety of species present and how evenly distributed they are within the community.


How does population differ from a community?

Population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area, while a community consists of different populations of species living and interacting with each other in the same area. In essence, population focuses on a single species, while community encompasses all the different species present in an ecosystem.


What do you call groups of different species that live together in a defined area?

A community. It refers to various species living together in a particular habitat and interacting with each other.

What are the trade-offs of trying to control an introduced species?

Trying to control an introduced species can keep the populations down on overpopulated creatures and keep the ecosystem stable. It can also be bad if the species gets over hunted and populations get low.


How could introduced species disrupt existing feeding relationships?

Introduced species can disrupt existing feeding relationships by competing with native species for resources, preying on native species, or altering the habitat in ways that affect the availability of food. This disruption can lead to declines in the populations of native species, changes in community structure, and overall ecosystem imbalances.
