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.

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!
"Survival of the fittest" is a concept in evolutionary biology that describes the natural selection process where organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to the next generation. It is a key mechanism driving the process of evolution and the adaptation of species to their surroundings over time. The fittest individuals in a particular environment are those that are most successful at reproducing and passing on their genes.
Interspecies reproduction is generally rare among organisms, as most species have specific genetic and biological barriers that prevent successful mating and offspring production between different species.
The species that is better adapted to the environment and able to acquire resources more effectively will likely outcompete the other species. This can lead to a decrease in population or even local extinction of the less competitive species.
Domesticated farm animals, feral goats and introduced species do the most damage to the environment.
There is no such thing as an Australian introduced species in the Murray River. If it is Australian, it is not introduced. Species which have been introduced from overseas include various species of Carp, Brown and Rainbow trout, Redfin perch and Gambusia. The most prolific of these is the carp.
Many nonnative (alien) species are able to survive in new environments due to environmental similarity such as temperature, rainfall, seasonality and habitats where food and water is in abundance or enough to survive on and also the presence of other same species individuals with whom reproduction is possible. Another reason why nonative species survive in nonnative habitats is because of the lack of its native predators to keep its numbers in check and therefore they survive and reproduce quickly and outcompete native species.
Australia is ideal for the platypus because there are few natural predators. Apart from pythons, most predators of the platypus are introduced species.
Homo sapiens
Most of said species die, if there is a favorable mutation existent in the population that characteristic will become more prevalent. If not the species will most likely go extinct.
Probably the European starling, an introduced species.

It isn't. The kakapo, a large, flightless parrot, is the most endangered species in New Zealand. There are less than 100 of these birds remaining, as they are very vulnerable to predation by introduced species.
They are not, bacteria is the most important species - without them humans would not last more than a few hours.
The IBM Selectric typewriter was first introduced in July 1961. It was one of the most successful typewriters of that generation. The line was replaced in 1984 with the IBM Wheelwriter.
