Question

which of the following is a consequence of habitat fragmentation? expansion of habitats increase of invasive species decrease in biodiversity stability in ecosystems

Explanation:

Habitat fragmentation divides large - continuous habitats into smaller, isolated patches. This reduces gene flow, increases edge - effects, and makes species more vulnerable, leading to a decrease in biodiversity. It doesn't cause habitat expansion, and while invasive species can be an issue related to fragmentation, the most direct consequence is the loss of biodiversity. Ecosystem stability is also disrupted rather than maintained.

Answer:

decrease in biodiversity
