Describe conditions that can cause the number of species to increase dramatically and conditions that can cause the number of species to increase dramatically?
Conditions that can cause the number of species to increase include new environments or habitats becoming available (e.g., after a volcanic eruption), evolutionary adaptations leading to speciation, and reduced competition or predation. Conversely, conditions that can cause the number of species to decrease include habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species outcompeting native ones.

Describe 3 variations you would observe as you travel south from a taiga into a temperate forest?
Decrease in coniferous tree species such as spruce and fir, and increase in deciduous tree species like oak and maple. Increase in plant diversity and density due to milder temperatures and longer growing seasons. Transition from colder and drier conditions in the taiga to more moderate temperatures and higher precipitation levels in the temperate forest.
Members of the same species which look dramatically different are?
called polymorphic individuals. This variation can be due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Polymorphism within a species can enhance survival and reproductive success by providing a range of traits adapted to different conditions or roles within a population.
Which type of succession does this describe?
support a variety of species
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.

What could cause a sudden increase or decreas e in the number of species?
Having a predator that preys on that certain species or something to do with the environment conditions

When numbers of a species begin to decline?
If the numbers of a species begin to decline dramatically, the species becomes known as an "endangered" species. When the numbers decline so far that the species no longer exists, the species is known to be "extinct."

What term describe development of new species and mass extinction?
Macroevolution The development of a new species is called speciation.
What would happen if the Cougar was extinct?
Being near the top of the food chain, extinction of the coyote could cause an increase in rodent populations. However, the adaptable coyote is quite common, and has expanded its range eastward, where it has become a nuisance in many areas.
How can species richness affect community stability?
Having a variety of species in a community is great, but the downside is that if a community just keeps conditions the same, some species need different conditions in order to survive. But on the other hand, some species will grow in large numbers if their certain conditions are kept the same.Having a variety of species in a community is great, but the downside is that if a community just keeps conditions the same, some species need different conditions in order to survive.

About how many different kinds of species are there in the ocean?
Scientists are uncovering new species of ocean life all the time, so the numbers vary dramatically. As of mid-2014, there were approximately 2.2 million ocean species.
What term is used to describe the process for a new species developing from an existing species?
The term used to describe the process for a new species developing from an existing species is "speciation." This process occurs when a population becomes reproductively isolated from the original species, leading to the accumulation of differences over time that eventually result in the formation of a distinct new species.
What is the cannibal species?
"Cannibal" isn't a species it is a word to describe a being who eats another being of the same species.
What is the term to describe a species that influence the survival of many others in an ecosystem?
keystone species
How can a species increase in numbers?
it increases by birth.
