When gaining biodiversity, _____________ occurs when a new resource is introduced to a species and individual members of that species begin to specialize in the resources that are available.
Competition
Biodiversity
How can an increase in biodiversity lead to an increase in ecosystem stability?
A more biodiverse ecosystem has a higher chance of adapting to species changes
