Question

Pet owners begin to abandon their Burmese pythons in the Everglades when they become too large for home care. Native species of frogs and reptiles decrease with the introduction of the snakes. What does this scenario represent?
1 A loss in biodiversity due to mutualism
2 A loss of biodiversity due to an invasive species
3 A loss of biodiversity due to a catastrophic event
4 A loss of biodiversity due to a commensalism

Answer 1

Answer - 2A. A loss of biodiversity due to an invasive species

Reason - Simple if you introduce a predator into a different ecosystem it can have a long term effect. In this case it's the python being aggressive and invasive killing the living organisms.
