The organisms that have been negatively affected at the species level due to human-induced environmental changes among the options provided are Caribbean monk seals and dodo birds.

Here's why:

1. Caribbean Monk Seals: These seals were native to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. They were driven to extinction due to overhunting by humans for their oil. The last confirmed sighting of a Caribbean monk seal was in 1952, and the species was officially declared extinct in 2008.

2. Dodo Birds: The dodo bird is a classic example of a species driven to extinction by human activity. Native to Mauritius, the dodo bird was hunted to extinction by sailors and invasive species introduced by humans. The last known dodo bird died in the late 17th century.

On the other hand, zebra mussels and kudzu are invasive species that have actually thrived due to human-induced environmental changes. Zebra mussels have spread rapidly in various bodies of water due to human activity, while kudzu, a plant native to Asia, has taken over large areas in the United States due to changes in land use.
