Answer:

Option "B & C"

B: One structural difference between the two species is the reduced size of the island fox, a feature known as dwarfism.

C: The various island subspecies also differ from each other in size, number of tail vertebrae, and other characteristics.

Explanation:

One notable difference between gray foxes and island foxes is the small size of island foxes. This character (dwarfism) was exhibited by the common ancestor of all six island fox subspecies. Note that the northern Channel Island fox subspecies are more closely related to each other than to any of the southern subspecies, and that the southern subspecies are more closely related to each other than to the northern subspecies.

butalik [34]
The answer is invasive species.

<span>Invasive species are species that are not native to the specific ecosystem, but they are capable of spreading widely through the ecosystem. This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 
</span>

<span>After being introduced into the Hawaiian Islands, the cane toads greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have a few natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>
