Answer:
Explanation:
The island provided Ideal environmental conditions for species C (habitat, temperature, moisture, etc.) Access to mates
Species C has had little or no effect on species B; however, as species C
increases, A decreases.
Species B: No or little competition (No niche overlap).
Species A and C are competing for the same limited resources "Competitive Exclusion Principle" In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, sometimes referred to as Gause's law, is a proposition named for Georgy Gause that two species competing for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values.
By 2014 species C will decrease—tie to exhaustion of a key resource or density-dependent cause. Stabilize or level off—tie to carrying capacity or a limiting resource.
Why invasive species are often successful in colonizing new habitats?
1. They have lost a controlling population factor from their original habitat: predator, pathogen,
or parasite.
2. They have a novel evolutionary advantage brought to the island from their original habitat: an aspect that provides an advantage—a chemical defense, flight advantage, novel enzyme, etc.
