Answer:
There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.
Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.
For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity, eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.
Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.
Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.
Answer:
The correct answer is innate behavior.
Explanation:
The behavior that gets monitored by genes and goes through the process of natural selection is termed as an innate behavior. This form of behavior takes place naturally and it just requires a specific kind of stimulus in order to get initiate. Instinctive behavior is the other term for innate behavior.
The tendency of an animal to perform a specific behavior after getting exposed to the stimulus for the first time is known as instinct. It can be said that one cannot learn innate or instinct behavior. It is performed by all the species in a similar manner irrespective of the surroundings. Caring for offspring is one of the examples of innate behaviors performed by the species that even demonstrate the basic life functions. Innate behaviors play an essential role in transmitting or passing genes to the coming generations.
