How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?

Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.

What are some long term repercussions of overfishing?
Over-fishing does not simply reduce the population and future population of a species. It can also result in overpopulation of the organisms on which they feed, and changes to the species that feed on them. In some cases, there are opportunistic species that take advantage of the reduced numbers of a given species, and these invaders may cause further harm to the ecosystem, and to the human activities that depend on the ecosystem.
