Non-native and invasive species can impact population size by outcompeting native species for resources, preying on native species, disrupting ecosystem dynamics, and spreading diseases. They can lead to declines in native populations by altering habitats and food availability. In some cases, invasive species can even drive native species to extinction.
A species that enters an environment where it has not lived before is called an invasive species. These species can have a negative impact on the native ecosystem by outcompeting native species for resources and disrupting the balance of the ecosystem.
European starlings impact the ecosystem by competing with native bird species for resources, displacing them from nesting sites, and spreading invasive plant species. Their large populations can also disrupt agricultural practices and spread diseases to other bird species.
A native species is a species that is normally found in a particular region. An invasive species is a species that was recently introduced or invaded a particular region where it now competes and often overpowers the natives!

People might use density-independent limiting factors, such as habitat modification or chemical control, to manage populations of introduced species because these methods can have a quick and direct impact on population size. They can help control invasive species that are causing harm to native ecosystems and species. Density-independent factors can be effective in reducing population levels without relying on natural predators or disease.
Nonnative species can significantly disrupt the population dynamics of native species by introducing competition for resources, predation, or disease. This can lead to a decline in native populations as they struggle to compete for food, habitat, or other necessities. In some cases, nonnative species may outcompete native species, resulting in their local extinction or reduced genetic diversity. Overall, the introduction of nonnative species can destabilize ecosystems and diminish biodiversity.
Imported species may damage the ecosystem.

Absolutely. As an invasive species, the lamprey has no natural enemies, and the fish of the Great Lakes have no defenses against them.
Invasive species can disrupt ocean ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, disturbing habitats, and introducing new diseases. This can lead to a decline in biodiversity, changes in food webs, and loss of valuable marine resources. Invasive species can also negatively impact human activities such as fishing and tourism.
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.
Some invasive species in Pennsylvania include Japanese knotweed, emerald ash borer, spotted lanternfly, and garlic mustard. These invasive species can outcompete native plants and animals, disrupting the local ecosystem and causing harm to the environment. Control efforts are ongoing to manage their impact.
Some invasive species in deciduous forests include the European starling, Japanese barberry, and emerald ash borer. These species can outcompete native species for resources, leading to a decline in biodiversity and ecosystem health. Management efforts are often focused on controlling and mitigating the impact of these invasive species in deciduous forests.
Competition: Introduced invasive species compete against native species for essential resources such as food and habitat.Predation: Introduced predators can have more impact on prey population than native predators, as prey may not have adaptions to escape or fight them.

Habitat change can negatively impact native species by reducing available resources such as food and shelter, increasing competition with invasive species, and disrupting established ecological relationships. These changes can lead to population declines, habitat fragmentation, and ultimately loss of biodiversity.
The introduction of invasive species to a new environment can negatively impact native populations by outcompeting them for resources or by introducing new diseases. For example, the introduction of non-native plant species to an area can disrupt the local ecosystem dynamics and harm the native plant populations.
