An introduced species is a species that is living outside its native environment. This happens as a result of humans, either accidentally or on purpose. They can cause damage to the environment that they are introduced into. One example is the black rat being in North America even though it is from Europe.

A species of fish that eats all of the plants in the lake where it was introduced is an example of an invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt local ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, altering habitats, and causing declines in biodiversity. Their introduction often leads to significant ecological and economic impacts.

Why might a new species be intentionally introduced to an ecosystem?

A new species might be intentionally introduced to an ecosystem to enhance biodiversity, control invasive species, or restore ecological balance. For example, a predator species could be introduced to manage overpopulation of a particular prey species, or a native plant could be reintroduced to revive degraded habitats. However, such actions must be carefully considered, as they can lead to unintended ecological consequences, such as competition with native species or the introduction of diseases.


Is introduced species the same as invasive species?

No, introduced species and invasive species are not the same. An introduced species is any non-native species that has been brought to a new environment, either intentionally or accidentally. Invasive species, on the other hand, are a subset of introduced species that cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health by outcompeting native species or disrupting ecological balances. Not all introduced species become invasive; some can coexist peacefully within their new environments.

Introduced alien species?

In Victorian times, Japanese Knotweed was introduced into Britain as an ornamental garden plant. It has since escaped and spread and has now become a very persistent weed that is difficult to eradicate. Another example is when rabbits were introduced into Australian, and have since grown to such huge numbers, that they are now considered a pest. There are many examples world-wide of introduced species that have decimated the native species, even to the point of extinction.

How are native species and introduced species related?

Eventually, all native species had to have been introduced sometime. So, native species are introduced species that have been in the ecosystem for a long time, and it and the other organisms have adapted to each other.
