Problems when a new species is introduced into an ecosystem?
A new species, when introduced to an ecosystem, will compete with the indigenous species for food and resources. If the new species is predatory, it may also begin preying on the indigenous species, so the native populations will decrease sharply.
What will happen if a new species introduced to a habitat?
Yes it will increase in a habitat.
Suppose that a new species of insect were introduced to your area how might competition limit it's dispersal?
If there are similar species, people might not want to take this new species to different areas.
What are Populations of organisms such as kudzu and the fire ant that are introduced into a new habitat and reproduce very rapidly are known as species.?
Those are invasive species.
What type of speciation occurs when new species arise as a result of geographic isolation?
When a certain species is divided up into two or more separate populations (geographically, for example) they continue to evolve (via natural selection) and over time the two (or more) populations will be so different from each other that they will not be able to reproduce, and will fit the criteria of different species.
Is geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new species?
Yes, geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new species.
What are 'introduced species'?

"Invasive Species" is a term used to describe a species that is taken from it's natural environment and introduced somewhere else. The species then cause harm to the new environment it was introduced in.
How can introduced species lead to ecnomic losses?
Introduced species that are relatively new and untested can lead to economic losses as far as the mass production is concerned.
A factor that is necessary for the formation of a new species?
different mating patterns
Causes of extinction in New Zealand?
Introduced species and habitat loss are the primary causes of extinction of native species in New Zealand. Introduced species such as feral cats, foxes, rats and stoats have decimated some native populations. Even the brushtail possum, rainbow lorikeets, black swan and cockatoos which have been introduced from Australia, threaten the habitat of native New Zealand species.
