The species that are generally most vulnerable to human impact are ________________.
A)keystone species

D)decomposers
E)competitive species

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

K-selected species have low reproductive rates, longer lifespans, and greater investment in parental care. These traits make them more vulnerable to human impact, particularly habitat destruction and fragmentation. Keystone species, producers, and decomposers may also be vulnerable, but it depends on the specific species and the nature of the human impact. Competitive species may actually benefit from human disturbances that remove competing species or create new resources.
