Biodiversity Types

Type of biodiversity that refers to the variety of habitats, communities, and ecological processes within and between ecosystems:

• ecosystem diversity

• species diversity

• genetic diversity

• none of these

Species that is NOT native to a specific location AND has a tendency to spread/damage the environment:

• native species

• invasive species

• endemic species

• exotic species

• extinct species

Native to a particular place and is ONLY found there.

• keystone species

• native species

• indicator species

• endemic species

• extinct species

Species that is NOT native to a particular region.

• exotic species

• endangered species

• native species

• endemic species
