Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The assembly of communities occurs due to two different processes. These processes are the extinction of species and the gain of species. In the process of extinction, the older and previously living species undergo extinction. However, in the process of species gain, new species arrive in the community either by colonizing or by evolution.

The extinction of species from a community is an important factor of community assembly that occurs due to the lack of resources and an unsuitable environment. This creates space for the new species. As a result, the new spices replace the extinct species in a community.

Thus, the processes that are involved in community assembly are the loss of species and the gain of species.
