I don't think they would be synonymous. Nonnative species can live in a habitat without causing any adverse effects on that habitat, the nonnative species can become invasive if it causes any negative effects on the habitat. An example of a nonnative invasive species would be the python in the Florida swamp land. These hardy snakes are wreaking havoc by eating fish, birds, even alligator eggs and babies! The two words are often used interchangeably because it is often hard to find nonnative species that do not harm the environment they are introduced to, but it is possible and seen in some fish and bird introductions.

What is an advantage of keeping nonnative species out of ecosystems?
Nonnative species have no natural controls or competitors and will become more and more invasive. They can crowd out native species until they no longer exist.
What is non native species?
a non native species is a species that isn't within a certain ecosystem.
What is the main way that invasive species are transported and introduced to nonnative areas?
Invasive species are mainly transported and introduced to nonnative areas through human activities such as international trade, travel, and agriculture. They may hitch rides on ships, vehicles, or cargo, or inadvertently be released or escape into new habitats.
Is crabgrass nonnative?
i dont know, but it is invasive
What are two factors that will determine whether a nonnative species becomes an invasive species?
An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
A nonnative species of squirrel is introduced into a forest. Which would most likely prevent this squirrel from becoming an invasive specieshing?
Several factors could prevent the nonnative squirrel from becoming an invasive species, including the presence of natural predators that can keep its population in check. Additionally, competition with native species for food and habitat could limit its survival and reproduction. If the introduced squirrel is unable to adapt to the local environment or if it carries diseases that negatively affect its population, these factors could also help prevent it from becoming invasive.
What is the word for the definition a nonnative animal that moves into a new place?
Its called an indigenous animal. For example, wild bores were never in america till someone brought them here, now they are a highly indigenous animal and also a huge problem in parts of the U.S.
What is a nonnative species?
A species that does not normally live in an area
In many areas humans are a nonnative species what happens when a nonnative species is introduced into a given environment?
When a nonnative species is introduced into a new environment, it can disrupt the existing ecological balance by outcompeting native species for resources, predating on them, or introducing diseases. This can lead to decline or extinction of native species, changes in ecosystem structure, and loss of biodiversity. In some cases, nonnative species can also have economic and health impacts on human populations.
A nonnative species of ant is introduced into a woodland ecosystem. Which would most likely stop the species from becoming invasive?
The fish shares a niche with another species
What is a common source of the introduction of nonnative species?
people
What is the impact a nonnative species might have on a native species in terms of population dynamics?
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.
