How can the introduction of a new species into a habitat help to cause the extinction of a species?

For one thing it may eat the other species. For example the introduction of the house cat in to the wild in western Australia led to the demise of many small land welling creatures, to the point where cats are now seen out at sea hunting for fish. It can also starve the existing species in an area out by eating that which the established species needs to survive. The cane toad was introduced into Australia and is now causing a problem with animals that eat or bite ir as they are poisonous.

How is urbanization responsible for the extinction of endangered species?
It is mostly due to habitat loss and fragmentation and a decline in quality of remaining habitat. Habitat fragmentation causes populations to become divided, creating smaller populations which are less connected and therefore at greater risk from disease, fire, predation, etc. If a species is already endangered, urbanisation puts more pressure on remaining populations and may encroach on crucial habitat. Urbanisation is unlikely to be the sole cause of extinction but it can contribute heavily to species becoming threatened or endangered.
Was loss of habitat the primary cause of extinction?
