Why do exotic species sometimes take over an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
How can an exotic species threaten an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
What will happen if a new species introduced to a habitat?
Introducing a new species to a habitat can disrupt the existing ecosystem by competing for resources, predating on native species, or introducing diseases. This can lead to changes in biodiversity, food webs, and overall ecosystem function. It may also cause native species to decline or become extinct.
Species introduced to new geographic locations?
When species are introduced to new locations where they are not native, they are termed as "introduced species" or "invasive species." These introductions can disrupt ecosystems, outcompete native species, and impact local biodiversity. Examples include the cane toad in Australia and the zebra mussel in North America.
Why most introduced species are not successful in there new environment?
Introduced species usually do well because native species have not developed the defenses required to protect themselves against the new type of threat that an introduced species presents. For example, the fox in Australia prevails so easily because so many of the small, native, ground-dwelling species are quite defenceless against the fox. Some can burrow, some can climb, but they cannot fight. It is interesting to note that the echidna in Australia is one of the species least affected by introduced species. This is because it is highly adaptable to a variety of environments, cab burrow, and can protect itself by drawing itself into a tight ball with its spines sticking outwards. This sort of protection is rare among the Australian native animals.
Plants introduced into new habitats in which they were not originally raised are?
Invasive species are different species, either plants or animals, which are purposefully or accidentally introduced into a new ecosystem. They can be good in some ways but bad in others because they usually don't have as many predators in the new ecosystem and can take over.
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.

What are two ways species can be introduced to an ecosystem?
Two ways new species can be introduced to an ecosystem is by being endangered and having an injury. If an animal is endangered or has an injury it is allowed to be taken to a wild animal place that they hold if the animal is injured abandoned and endangered or has an disease or illness
What is a possible cause of an ecosystem undergoing primary succession?
It is when a species is introduced into a new area. It could be caused by humans moving species or migration.
What are 'introduced species'?
it has been moved to a new area.

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.
IF an introduced species thrives and grows in an area it can disrupt a delicately balanced ecosystem. Introduced species can a and placement biodiversity in several ways.?
Introduced species can disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources such as food, space, and light, leading to declines in native populations. They may also introduce new diseases or parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. Additionally, these invasive species can alter habitats and ecosystem processes, further diminishing biodiversity and potentially leading to the extinction of vulnerable native species. Overall, the introduction of non-native species can have cascading effects that destabilize established ecological relationships.
What describes these toads in the new ecosystem?
Invasive species
How an organism survives in an ecosystem?
Organisms survive in an ecosystem by being in a food chain or adapting to the resident food web. For an organism to survive in an ecosystem in needs to find a way to belong. Sometimes when an new organism is introduced to an ecosystem they adapt too well and they are classified as an invasive species. The organism will either have to adapt to the ecosystem or die out.
