What is the disappearance of a species from all part of an environment?
Is extinction the word you're looking for ?
What group of individuals of the same species that live together in the same area at the same time?
A group of individuals of the same species living in a particular place is called a population.
What do people do to help tigers?
People try protecting tigers from harm, to keep them from extinction. Special groups preserve tigers in zoos, so that they can reproduce and have a greater population. Tigers are endangered, and there are already some extinct species.
What term is used for species that are at serious risk of extinction?
Vulnerable, or Threatened. Both mean that events could endanger the species because of habitat change, or because the population level is low enough to where they could be endangered if the loss of some of the population occurs.
When the last member of a species dies is said to have occurred.?
the answer to the question is extinction
What is speice extinction?
Extinction is when all of the individuals of a species die without any living offspring. This means that the species no longer exists.
When all the in individuals of a species have died what is it called?
The death of every member of a species is called extinction. When a large number of different species is dies out at the same time it is called mass extinction.
What includes species extinction or endangerment?
Species endangerment is when the population is reduced below a point where it is sustainable. When the species is below this point, it can be reduced to the point to extinction.
How do you know if an animal is extinct?
Extinction of a particular animal species occurs when there are no more individuals of that species alive anywhere in the world. The process of extinction is a natural part of evolution.
When does Parasitism occur?
A.Parasitism occurs when individuals of one species-population are used as a resource by individuals of another species-population.
A group of individuals of the same species that interbreed make up what?
This the the short form of the species concept.So,Species.
What is endangered species and extinction?
Endangered species is when there is a certain type of animal that is losing its population. Extinction is a very old animal that has died out and there is none of them left, e.g dinosaurs.
What is 'an interacting group of individuals of the same species'?
population
Explain and illustrate how the long-term survival of a species depends on resources that may be limited from time to time?
Even if a number of individuals survive, the population size may become too small for the species to continue. Small populations may have breeding problems. They are susceptible to random environmental fluctuations and genetic drift to a greater degree than are larger populations. The chance of extinction increases exponentially with decreasing population size. The MVP is the smallest population size that can avoid extinction by the two reasons listed above. If no severe environmental fluxes develop for a long enough time, a small population will recover. The MVP depends heavily on reproductive rates of the species. The environment is the ultimate cause of population stabilization. Two categories of factors are commonly used: physical environment and biological environment. Three subdivisions of the biological environment (BIOTIC factors) are competition, predation, and symbiosis. Physical environment (ABIOTIC) factors include FOOD, SHELTER, WATER supply, SPACE availability, and (for plants) SOIL and LIGHT. One of these factors may severely limit population size, even if the others are not as constrained. The LAW OF THE MINIMUM states that population growth is limited by the resource in the shortest supply. The biological role played by a species in the environment is called a niche. Organisms/populations in competition have a NICHE OVERLAP of a scarce resource for which they compete. COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION occurs between two species when competition for resources is so intense that one species completely eliminates the second species from an area. Population Decline and EXTINCTION Extinction is the elimination of all individuals in a group. Local extinction is the loss of all individuals in a population. Species extinction occurs when all members of a species and its component populations go extinct. Scientists estimate that 99% of all species that ever existed are now extinct. The ultimate cause of decline and extinction is ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE. Changes in one of the physical factors of the environment may cause the decline and extinction; likewise the fossil record indicates that some extinctions are caused by migration of a competitor.

Individuals of the same species make up a?
A population.
Why does a declining population make a species more vulnerable to extinction?
if a species is declining then the species that eats that one has less food and will decline fast as well
