An invader species is a species that intrudes an environment that is dangerous to the wildlife there if that "invader species" intrudes it. For example, not too long ago a certain predatory fish came into Forest Hills and was starting to consume all the other fish and wildlife living there. That predatory fish is known as an invasive species

∙ 12y agoAn invading species is something (plant or animal) that takes things away from another species; it comes in and ruins the balance of the ecosystem it invades. An example is the Asian carp. Usually the harm is done because the invading species does not have the natural predators that it has in its native system. Trying to correct the problem by then introducing a natural predator may, and most often does, seriously disturb some other part of the system.

How does Customs protect flora and fauna?
Customs checks help stop non-native species from invading and disrupting the native ecosystem. The invasive species may out compete the local species, or the invasive species may have no predators in the native ecosystem.
How might the introduction of a new species of plants and animal in an area cause disastrous effects on the organisms already living in the area?
The two main ways in which a foreign species may lead to the extinction of an indigenous species would be through predation and competition for resources.Predation would involve the direct consumption of the species by the invading foreign species such as a bug that decimates a plant population that it finds appetizing when there was no prior insect that would eat this plant.Competition for resources would be due to the invading species having a competitive advantage over the indigenous species for acquiring the resource. An example of this again might include an invading bug which matures to adult form earlier in the season than an indigenous bug and is able to eat all of a plant species that the home-town bug requires for survival before they can emerge, feast and reproduce.There are a multitude of these types of situations that can involve primary interactions between the two species (invading and indigenous that goes extinct) or secondary/tertiary interactions through a chain of species in the food web of the local ecosystem.

Why are insect that enter a region from a foreign region more difficult to control?
Their natural predators that prey on the insect and therefor help control the population may not exist in the new region, allowing the population to grow unchecked (except by availability of food). The same applies for plants and other types of animals, such as zebra mussels. These species often compete with the native species for food and space, causing the native species to dwindle in population. One method of controlling the invading species is to introduce the predators that naturally prey on the invading species into the environment. However, care must be taken so that we're not just compounding the problem by introducing another species that may grow unchecked and compete with the native species.
