Two species of leaf-eating lizards (species A and B) have coexisted on an isolated island for more than 10,000 years. In 1964, a third species of leaf-eating lizard (species C) was accidentally introduced by humans visiting the island. The graph below shows the population sizes of the three species since that time: Explain the pattern of population density observed in species C. Describe the effect that the introduction of species C had on both species A and B.

well from what i can see based on the data in the graph is that, since the accidental introduction of species 3 the population of the other 2 species has decreased quite a bit. While you can also observe that the population of population 3 continues to grow.

This suggests 3 possibilities to me

possibility 1. species 3 is consuming leaves just like the other 2 species causing a scarcity in food.

possibility 2. species 3 is consuming the other 2 species causing the decrease in population.

possibility 3. species 3 and the other species may be fighting over shelter, food, or water, causing more lizard fatalities.

b. read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure.

nucleus

would be most reasonable answer tbh
