• A non-native (not naturally found) species added to an area. 
• A keystone species in an environment
• none of the above

Number of different species living in a specific area.

• Biodiversity

• Endemic

• Species Diversity

• Ecosystem Diversity

The disappearance of a species when the last of its members dies.

• Extinction

• Mass Extinction

• Background Extinction

The 8 levels of classification, most broad to most specific.

• Domain, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Species

• Domain, Species, Kingdom, Genus, Phylum, Family, Class, Order

• Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

• Order, Kingdom, Species, Domain, Phylum, Family, Class, Genus

This is the disappearance of a particular population from a given area, but not the entire species globally.

• extinction

• extirpation

• evacuation

• evaluation

This classification of risk means that the species is at serious risk of extinction.

• threatened

• vulnerable

• endangered

• extinct

The status of a "threatened species" means:

• they are almost extinct

• they are likely to become endangered

• they are extinct

• their numbers are increasing

The living planet index

• tracks species decline

• lists all animal species in the world

• describes exponential growth
