Introduced species and habitat loss are the primary causes of extinction of native species in New Zealand.

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.


Why most introduced species are not successful in there new environment?

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.


Are species being introduced either accidentally or intentionally into new ecosystems today?

Yes, species are being introduced to new ecosystems accidentally through activities such as global trade and travel. Additionally, some species are intentionally introduced into new ecosystems for various reasons, such as pest control or agriculture. These introductions can have both positive and negative effects on the receiving ecosystems.
