-Invasive species- When a new species that is not native moves into an area, it often won't have natural predators and can thus survive better than natives. They take over, and lower diversity levels by killing off other species
-Keystone species- a keystone species is a species which many others in the food chain rely on, if the keystone species has a problem or decrease in population the diverersity of the population will also decrease.
- Availability of resources- For instance food, shelter, nutrients, notice that rain forests which are abundant in rain forests show much diversity, while a tundra shows very little diversity.
- Stability of the community- for instane, tempreture shifts will cause a decrease in diversity because certain species have a small range of tempreture that they can live in. This is why coral reefs are decreasing in diveristy, they are very limited in teh tempreture they can live in.
I wouldn't agree that natural selection affects diversity levels as it is present at all times, in every ecosystem and does not fluctuate.

The two factors contributing to the diversity of species?
it is the environment. environment is the key point to effect the species' development.
The Factors that affect the BIODIVERSITY of an ecosystem.?
The factors that affect biodiversity of an ecosystem are moisture content, organic matter, Simpson's index of diversity and the pH of the soil.
How does adaptations affect the diversity of a species?
Adaptations make the species different from other species, and if they are passed down, they will make more species with these differences.
How is genetic diversity different from species diversity?
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What factors affect biodiversity?
Ecosystem, genetic and cultural diversity, and the connections between these and all species.
What factors account for the diversity of species?
Adaptation and Species.
The two factors contributing to the diversity of species?
it is the environment. environment is the key point to effect the species' development.
Why does extinction endanger diversity?
Extinction is the permanent removal of a species which decreases bio-diversity. Bio-diversity is measured in two fashions # of species and # of members/species these two factors together make up a regions bio diversity, therefore with the removal of a species the regions bio-diversity decreases.
How might factors such as diversity attitude learning and work styles affect team building?
1. How might factors such as diversity, attitude, learning, and work styles affect team building?

Species diversity is the number of what?
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
