foreign plant and animal species have established themselves in the U.S., as have hundreds of animal and plant disease agents, or pathogens. Many of these species--such as crop plants and some game animals--are beneficial, while others--such as most pets and ornamental plants--are harmless amenities. At the same time, some 15 percent of these interlopers have become invaders, causing widespread problems that can prove serious and exceedingly costly. They can devastate farms and forests, impede waterways, foul lakes and ponds, affect human health, and invade natural areas and replace native species.

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.
How does non-native and invasive species impact population size?
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.
What problems do invasive species cause in ecosystems?
Invasive species can disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, altering habitats, and spreading diseases. This can lead to a decrease in biodiversity, changes in ecosystem functions, and potential economic impacts.

Other invasive species include the Nile Tilapia and the Water Hyacinth, which is a water-type weed.
Invasive species are species that are?
Invasive species are species that are not native to an area. They typically will thrive in their new environment and in doing so will change the ecosystem by starving out the native species. Some examples of invasive species in America are Japanese beetles, Asian carp, kudzu, phragmites and many many more.
