When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic
yard in 1988. The jellies devoured all the zooplankton and fish larvae, drastically reducing the numbers of the native fish populations. This situation demonstrates? a.
the difference between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.
b.
effects of local evolution or migration on an ecosystem.
c.
the impact of removing or adding organisms to an ecosystem.
d.
the types of interactions between organisms in an ecosystem.
From the given question above, the correct answer that fits the situation is option C. The impact of removing or adding organisms to an ecosystem. When the comb jelly increased its population, this then affected also the population of the native fish populations around it which resulted in its decrease.
The correct answer is c. the impact of removing or adding organisms to an ecosystem.
This represents a perfect example of the effects that a species not native to certain ecosystem introduced in it can do to the native species and cause total disruption in the ecosystem in which it has been introduced. This example is just one of many where people have introduced species to totally different ecosystems and the results are usually very bad, like with the cats in Australia or rats in New Zealand, which resulted of the dying out of lot of native species and lots of others are on the verge of dying out.
Aphelion is the point of the Earth's orbit that is farthest away from the Sun. Perihelion is the point of the Earth's orbit that is nearest to the Sun.
I hope this is what you were looking for. If not then very sorry. I'm just going off of my prior knowledge.
