An introduced species is one that is not necessarily harmful to the environment, while an invasive species has a negative effect.
Effects of Changing Conditions Quick Check4 of 54 of 5 ItemsQuestionThe Cuban treefrog invaded Florida in the 1930s and has since spread throughout the southeastern U.S. It produces a “grating squawk” as a mating call. Their call drowns out the mating calls of native frogs, hindering their ability to find a mate. Some frogs, like the Green treefrog, changed their calls, but this also may reduce their ability to attract a mate if females do not learn to recognize the new call.How does the Cuban treefrog cause a reduction in biodiversity?(1 point)ResponsesIt reduces biodiversity because it has no natural predators in the area.It reduces biodiversity because it has no natural predators in the area.It reduces biodiversity because it reproduces rapidly.It reduces biodiversity because it reproduces rapidly.It reduces biodiversity by reducing successful mating in native species.It reduces biodiversity by reducing successful mating in native species.It reduces biodiversity by reducing food availability for native species.It reduces biodiversity by reducing food availability for native species.Skip to navigationpage 12 of 12
he different types of species in an ecosystem
Effects of Changing Conditions Quick Check5 of 55 of 5 ItemsQuestionHumans built dams, dikes, and levees to control water flow and flooding in the Florida Everglades. This allowed us to expand urban and agricultural areas, but it also allowed invasive species to take over and destroy habitat for native species, as well as reducing native species ability to move to find resources and reproduce. Restoration efforts are under way to allow for natural water drainage and to treat the water.Which size impact does this human-led destruction of habitat have?(1 point)ResponsesSmall because they are restoring the original hydrology by removing interior canals.Small because they are restoring the original hydrology by removing interior canals.Medium because many species were impacted, but they are still surviving in the remaining areas.Medium because many species were impacted, but they are still surviving in the remaining areas.Medium because only some species were affected by the changes.Medium because only some species were affected by the changes.Large because it has led to several significant changes, including new invasive species and loss of natives.Large because it has led to several significant changes, including new invasive species and loss of natives.Skip to navigationpage 12 of 12

1. The difference between an introduced and an invasive species is that an introduced species is not necessarily harmful to the environment, while an invasive species has a negative effect.
2. One way that warming conditions are beneficial to invasive species is that if a location used to be too cold for non-native species, it is now warm enough to allow them to exist.
3. Species richness refers to the number of species in a community.
4. The Cuban treefrog causes a reduction in biodiversity by reducing successful mating in native species.
5. The human-led destruction of habitat in the Florida Everglades has a large impact because it has led to several significant changes, including new invasive species and loss of natives.
I hope this helps with your quiz on the effects of changing conditions in ecosystems. Let me know if you need further assistance!
