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: Variation in Population Density of Lizards Population Density 45 40 44 35 30 25 20 Species A Species B Species C 10 5 0 1964 + 1974 1984 1994 2004 Year Describe the effect that the introduction of species C had on the population densities of species A and B. Explain what could have caused the introduction of species C to have an effect on the population densities of species A and B. (4 points)
