Native plants are plants that belong to an environment (they have evolved there). Exotic plants are plants that have been imported from elsewhere in the world and are not natural to the environment in which they are now living.
Sometimes a non-native species can be introduced into an environment as a way to address an environmental problem. Other times these are introduced by accident.
Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
Introduced species, also known as non-native or exotic species, are organisms that are brought into a new habitat where they do not naturally occur. They can cause significant ecological damage by outcompeting native species for resources, disrupting food webs, and altering habitats. Additionally, introduced species can introduce diseases and parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. This can lead to declines or extinctions of local wildlife and a loss of biodiversity.
Introduced species can disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources such as food, space, and light, leading to declines in native populations. They may also introduce new diseases or parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. Additionally, these invasive species can alter habitats and ecosystem processes, further diminishing biodiversity and potentially leading to the extinction of vulnerable native species. Overall, the introduction of non-native species can have cascading effects that destabilize established ecological relationships.
Introduced species can disrupt existing feeding relationships by competing with native species for resources, preying on native species, or altering the habitat in ways that affect the availability of food. This disruption can lead to declines in the populations of native species, changes in community structure, and overall ecosystem imbalances.
The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.
Competition: Introduced invasive species compete against native species for essential resources such as food and habitat.Predation: Introduced predators can have more impact on prey population than native predators, as prey may not have adaptions to escape or fight them.

Eventually, all native species had to have been introduced sometime. So, native species are introduced species that have been in the ecosystem for a long time, and it and the other organisms have adapted to each other.

It's an introduced species such as rabbits being introduced into Australia.
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)
Native and indigenous are similar meaning words that refer to naturally growing plants, living animals, and even original inhabitants of a particular region.When using for animals, indigenous is used for species, while native is used for particular animals and not whole species.For human beings, both native and indigenous are used almost interchangeably.
Sheep are not native to Australia - they are an introduced species.
Yes. Donkeys are introduced, and not native to Australia.

In the first place, introduced species threaten the food supplies of native animals. Introduced species tend to breed more quickly than native species, so they eat more, often razing feeding grounds which would support native herbivores for months by eating vegetation right down to the roots. Secondly, many introduced species are predators, and native Australian animals have not developed effective defence adaptations against predators that are new to them. Introduced plant species tend to spread more quickly through native habitats, killing off native plant species which might provide the natural food of Australian animals.
