A new predator can make a species go extinct because the species does not have any natural defenses against them. A new predator can rise rapidly and then decline because they decimated their prey population.

Do Endemic species face relatively high risks of extinction?

It is true that endemic species face relatively high risks of extinction. An endemic species refers to a species that is restricted or native to a particular area or country.


IF an introduced species thrives and grows in an area it can disrupt a delicately balanced ecosystem. Introduced species can a and placement biodiversity in several ways.?

Introduced species can disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources such as food, space, and light, leading to declines in native populations. They may also introduce new diseases or parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. Additionally, these invasive species can alter habitats and ecosystem processes, further diminishing biodiversity and potentially leading to the extinction of vulnerable native species. Overall, the introduction of non-native species can have cascading effects that destabilize established ecological relationships.


Difference between native and non native species?

The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.


What is intentional introduction?

Intentional introduction of invasive species is when non-native plants and/or animal life is brought into an area it did not originate in, usually with detrimental results for the environment or ecosystem.

What are species that don't belong in a particular area?

A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.


What is biotic pollution?

This can basically be defined as the introduction of a foreign species into an area which it is not native to.These foreign species may deprive the native species of food, habitat and some times prey on them.Causing them to become extinct.Humans are usually responsible for biotic pollution.


What is an example of how one population has affected another population?

The introduction of invasive species to a new environment can negatively impact native populations by outcompeting them for resources or by introducing new diseases. For example, the introduction of non-native plant species to an area can disrupt the local ecosystem dynamics and harm the native plant populations.


What occurs when an area chnges so much that a species can no longer live there?
