What are some Invasive Species in the Rainforest?

An organism that is not native to a geographic location. The local Biosphere will not be able to balance its presence with any control features such as disease or predators. The organism will then unchallenged begin to colonise the new environment, in many cases to the detriment of local organisms. In some cases the invasive species is a predator to which local prey have evolved defences such as the mink. In other cases the invasive organise may carry a pathogen which is highly dangerous to the local population, an example the grey squirrel. Japanese knot weed Rabbits Rhodedenrum (spelling unsure)

Role of ecological dominance in an ecosystem?

Ecological dominance refers to the ability of a particular species to outcompete and dominate other species in an ecosystem. This can have a significant impact on the structure and function of the ecosystem. Dominant species often have a strong influence on resource availability and can shape community composition and biodiversity. They play a crucial role in maintaining the balance and stability of an ecosystem.


Why are pythons harmful to the Everglades?

Pythons are an invasive species in the Everglades. An invasive species is one which is not naturally there but has been introduced by accident or on purpose by humans. In the case of the python it results from people releasing their pets to the Everglades when they get too large or they become bored with them. Invasive species usually have no natural enemies to keep their numbers down. In the case of the python, iit is a large predator which outclasses the local predators for hunting ability and size, As a consequence it eats tall the food go the local predators (raccoons, rabbits, deer) which starves the local large predators (alligators etc). With no natural food the python then moves on to alligators, dogs, small children and similar.

How is the red fox invasive to Florida?
