Question

you have been assigned to address the problem of overpopulation of species x in a nearby county. one of the members of your team suggests introducing species y, which is a natural predator of species x, but not normally found in the area. after some discussion, you go ahead and introduce species y. what aspects of the hierarchical organization may be affected within a period of a several years? multiple choice population, species, community, biosphere population, species, community organism, population, species population, community

Explanation:

The introduction of species Y will directly affect the population of species X. Since species Y is a new - comer to the area, it will also impact the species composition in the local community. The biosphere is a very large - scale concept and is less likely to be directly affected in a short - to medium - term local introduction. Organisms are individual entities and the focus here is more on the collective levels of population and community.

Answer:

B. population, species, community
