- EVOLUTION LINK Biologists have wondered how introduced species that would probably have limited genetic variation (due to the founder effect) survive and adapt so successfully that they become invasive. Part of the answer may be that invasive species are the result of multiple introductions instead of a single one. Explain how multiple introductions from a species native area to an introduced area could increase that species invasion success.arrow_forwardPopulationecologists do not study:a.reproductive ecology.b.distribution and abundance.c.energy flow.d.extinction.e.adaptation.arrow_forwardThe fact that economic growth and development policies put forward by governments often contribute to ecological destruction (or ecocide) and ethnocide is best represented by which of the following: A.
