Question

Why would a diverse community be more resistant to disease, predation, and invasion

Answer 1

A diverse population would be more resistant to these factors because, the organism number of species in a population can accommodate for losses by predators, resistant to disease because of the high tolerance range each member possesses, different immunity to different diseases and a more diverse population tend to out-compete other invasive species gaining dominance.

Answer 2

Answer and explanation;

-A diverse community would be more resistant to disease, predation, and invasion because it would be a bigger diversity of genes, which means that the chance of disease would be more likely to spread in a different area than in a diverse population.

-Diversity is expected to increase the resilience of ecosystems. A diverse community would be more resistant to disease because of simple biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease.

-High diversity strengthens a community and prevents invasion of the introduced predator. After a gradual loss of native species, the introduced predator can escape control and the system collapses into a contrasting, invaded, low-diversity state.
