The best example I can think of is Florida. There are several invasive species there that are causing a lot of problems. The most worrisome being a few varieties of python. Burmese pythons have grown to a large population, and African Rock Pythons are starting to grow in number. They are reducing the numbers of most of the native species in the everglades, and human deaths due to wild pythons in Florida are becoming more and more common.

What is the consequence of invasive species?
foreign plant and animal species have established themselves in the U.S., as have hundreds of animal and plant disease agents, or pathogens. Many of these species--such as crop plants and some game animals--are beneficial, while others--such as most pets and ornamental plants--are harmless amenities. At the same time, some 15 percent of these interlopers have become invaders, causing widespread problems that can prove serious and exceedingly costly. They can devastate farms and forests, impede waterways, foul lakes and ponds, affect human health, and invade natural areas and replace native species.
What is an invasion species?
Invasive species is a phrase with several definitions. The first definition expresses the phrase in terms of non-indigenous species (e.g. plants or animals) that adversely affect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically. It has been used in this sense by government organizations[1][2] as well as conservation groups such as the IUCN.[3] The second definition broadens the boundaries to include both native and non-native species that heavily colonize a particular habitat.[3] The third definition is an expansion of the first and defines an invasive species as a widespread non-indigenous species.[3] This last definition is arguably too broad as not all non-indigenous species necessarily have an adverse effect on their adopted environment. An example of this broader use would include the claim that the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) is invasive. True, it is common outside of its range globally but it almost never appears in harmful densities.[3]An invasive species is defined legally in the USA as â??An alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human healthâ?¦â??Alien speciesâ?? means, with respect to a particular ecosystem, any speciesâ?¦that is not native to that ecosystem."

What are positive human impacts on the Mississippi river?
introduction of new carp species
Which species are closely monitored to assess human impacts on ecosystems?
Bio-indicator species are species that indicate changes in the environment. They are monitored to assess human impacts on ecosystems. For example, if the number of frogs in a marsh are very low , it means the humans impact on that marsh is very high.
How does invasive exotic species affect an human?
yes the body reproduses gas that elemiates the gas product
What are two factors that will determine whether a nonnative species becomes an invasive species?

How can humans affect islands?
Humans can have both positive and negative impacts on islands. Positively, human activities such as sustainable tourism can contribute to the local economy and conservation efforts. However, negative human impacts can include habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, pollution, and climate change, which can lead to loss of biodiversity and damage to island ecosystems. It is important for humans to minimize their negative impacts and promote sustainable practices to preserve and protect island environments.

Are corn snakes invasive?
Invasive to where exactly ! Remember - reptiles have been around much longer than people have. The only reason any species becomes labelled as 'invasive' is when it encounters humans - where people have built towns & cities on land that was previously for the exclusive use of animals. Actually - the only 'invasive' species on this planet is the human race ! Before man developed his interest in exploration, the planet lived a perfectly balanced existence !
