Introducing new species threatens biodiversity in several ways. The new species may upset the food chain in an area. If a species grows faster than native species, they may eat all of the food, leaving little for the natural fauna. The new species may also, conversely, be great food for an existing species which would give one species a great growth advantage over others.
What else can I help you with?
True or false The loss of a species from an ecosystem usually has no effect because of the presence of other species in the ecosystem?
False. The loss of a species from an ecosystem can have cascading effects on other species and the overall balance of the ecosystem. Each species plays a specific role in the ecosystem, so the loss of one can disrupt the interconnected relationships within the system.
Are there dominant species in a diverse ecosystem?
In a diverse ecosystem, there may be certain species that are more abundant or have a greater impact on the ecosystem than others. These species are often called dominant species. Dominant species can influence the structure and function of the ecosystem by outcompeting other species for resources or by providing key ecosystem services.
What is the living organism in a habitat is called?
Probably the same thing it was called before It is usually called an "introduced species" or an "invasive species".
What is an invading species?
An invader species is a species that intrudes an environment that is dangerous to the wildlife there if that "invader species" intrudes it. For example, not too long ago a certain predatory fish came into Forest Hills and was starting to consume all the other fish and wildlife living there. That predatory fish is known as an invasive species
Ecosystem boundaries are usually defined by easily identifiable demarcations?
Ecosystem boundaries are often defined by physical features such as rivers, mountains, or coastlines. These features can act as barriers that limit the movement of species and resources in and out of the ecosystem. Additionally, human activities can also influence and alter ecosystem boundaries.
Plants introduced into new habitats in which they were not originally raised are?
Invasive species are different species, either plants or animals, which are purposefully or accidentally introduced into a new ecosystem. They can be good in some ways but bad in others because they usually don't have as many predators in the new ecosystem and can take over.

What is an intoduced species?
An introduced species is an animal species that people put into a habitat that they are not native to. For example cane toads were introduced to Australia from Central America to try to control the population of mice. As these "Brilliant" ideas usually do it failed now the cane toad population is out of control and killing the Australian Ecosystem because of the toad's incredible appetite.
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.
What is a primary species?
A primary species is a species that occupies the first trophic level in an ecosystem. These species are usually autotrophs, such as plants, that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain. They are vital in supporting the rest of the ecosystem by providing energy and nutrients for other organisms.
What are two examples of species that are endangered because something in their ecosystem with was disturbed?
Flightless birds in the pacific are usually endangered or extinct, they can't compete with European mammals, such as cats, foxes and dogs. The disturbance usually being the introduction of a new species. The kiwis of New Zealand is one example Different species of Wallaby is another.
True or false when non native species enter an ecosystem they usually occupy unfilled niches?
True. Non-native species often fill ecological niches in new ecosystems because they are not in direct competition with native species for resources. This can lead to displacement or extinction of native species.

How does the energy leaves the ecosystem?
Usually, energy leaves the ecosystem when an organism leaves the ecosystem, they usually leave by death.
Ecosystem boundaries are usually defined by easily identifiable demarcations?
Ecosystem boundaries are often defined by physical features such as rivers, mountains, or coastlines. These features can act as barriers that limit the movement of species and resources in and out of the ecosystem. Additionally, human activities can also influence and alter ecosystem boundaries.
