What is an invasive species best described as?
"Invasive Species" is a term used to describe a species that is taken from it's natural environment and introduced somewhere else. The species then cause harm to the new environment it was introduced in.
What is bioinvasion and what are some examples?
Bioinvasion is when a species is introduced into a whole new environment!
The emergence of new species from a common ancestor introduced to new and diverse environment is known as?
adaptive radiation
Why do introduced species often do so well in new ecosystems?
The new species adapts to the environment faster (or learns quicker). while it's adapting, the ecosystems are benefiting from the species.
Problems when a new species is introduced into an ecosystem?
A new species, when introduced to an ecosystem, will compete with the indigenous species for food and resources. If the new species is predatory, it may also begin preying on the indigenous species, so the native populations will decrease sharply.
Are all introduced species invasive?
No, not all introduced species are invasive because they may have a natural predator that will eat them in their new environment. Also because the species can be biologically controlled, chemically controlled or mechanically controlled.
Species introduced to new geographic locations?
New species are introduced into areas to either get rid of another animal e.g. the cane toad came to Australia to get rid of some kind of bug or and animal is accidentally taken to another country.
What are 'introduced species'?
it has been moved to a new area.
Sometimes animals that are introduced into an area that they have never lived in before out- compete and endanger resident species?
The original species are not used to the new predators being in their environment, so they will become endangered and the new species will dominate.
What might cause exponential growth to occur only for a short period when a new species is introduced to a resourcefilled environment?
They are introduced either by accident or by people to get rid of another animal that is a problem. they can be brought on boats, planes, cars, and/or trains.
If the environment changes quickly and no individual members of a species are able to survive in the new environment then the species will what?
become extinct.
How can introduced species lead to ecnomic losses?
Introduced species that are relatively new and untested can lead to economic losses as far as the mass production is concerned.
