Question
**Question:** Which one of the following is *not* a characteristic of invasive species? - ○ Rapid reproductive rate - ○ Takes over habitat from native species - ● Specialist resource use - ○ Under weaker predation pressure in new community than in native community **Explanation:** Invasive species typically have certain characteristics that allow them to thrive in non-native environments. These usually include a rapid reproductive rate, the ability to take over habitats from native species, and experiencing weaker predation pressure in new communities compared to their native ones. However, invasive species are often generalists rather than specialists, meaning they are not highly specialized in their resource use, allowing them to adapt to a variety of environments and resources.

**Question:** Which one of these communities is undergoing **primary succession**? - A. A meadow after an intense fire sweeps through burning all vegetation. - B. An old wheat field that has been fully harvested, but not replanted. - C. On a new island, made by the outflow of lava from an undersea volcano. - D. In a forest that has been logged (trees harvested). **Explanation:** The concept of primary succession refers to the process by which new ecosystems develop in previously uninhabited and barren environments with no soil, such as on lava flow, areas left from retreated glaciers, or newly formed sand dunes. Among the options provided: - **Option C** (On a new island, made by the outflow of lava from an undersea volcano) is correct for primary succession because it involves the development of a community starting from barren rock or land. - Options A, B, and D involve secondary succession, where a community develops in an area that previously had life but has been disturbed.
