Main types of species in ecology

 Main types of species in ecology:

1. Native species: Species that are naturally found in a particular region or ecosystem.

2. Invasive species: Species that are introduced to a new region or ecosystem, often causing harm to the native species and ecosystem.

3. Endemic species: Species that are found only in a specific region or ecosystem and nowhere else.

4. Migratory species: Species that move from one region to another at certain times of the year.

5. Resident species: Species that remain in one region or ecosystem year-round.

6. Keystone species: Species that play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of their ecosystem.

7. Indicator species: Species that serve as indicators of the health or quality of an ecosystem.

8. Foundation species: Species that play a crucial role in shaping their environment and creating habitats for other species.

9. Flagship species: Species that are iconic or charismatic and serve as symbols for conservation efforts.

10. Umbrella species: Species that require large habitats or have large ranges, and whose conservation also benefits other species.

11. Ecological engineer species: Species that modify their environment in ways that benefit other species.

12. Niche species: Species that occupy a specific ecological niche or role in their ecosystem.

13. Generalist species: Species that can thrive in a variety of environments and ecosystems.

14. Specialist species: Species that require specific conditions or resources to survive.
