Question
Chapter 46.7, Problem 2BC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of population growth exhibited by the wildebeest and buffalo from 1958 to 1975.
Introduction:
When a species is moved to a new location by humans, then such species are termed as the introduced species. These species are moved to different locations for various benefits and by different ways of transport. Sometimes, introduced species become invasive species. Invasive species are those species that spread in an area rapidly and affect the native species.
