The introduced fish species would not become an invasive species if the fish shares a niche with the native species.
Invasive species are likely to thrive in ecosystems that have disturbed or altered habitats, which reduce native species' competition and resilience. Conditions such as a lack of natural predators, abundant resources, and favorable climate can further facilitate their establishment. Additionally, ecosystems with low biodiversity are often more vulnerable, as the absence of a diverse range of species can lead to imbalances that invasive species exploit. Human activities, such as agriculture and urbanization, can also create environments conducive to invasions by introducing non-native species.
The guby fish likely became invasive by being introduced to new environments where it had no natural predators. This allowed the guby to reproduce rapidly and outcompete native species for resources, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. Additionally, human activities such as accidental releases or aquarium pets being released into the wild can contribute to the spread of invasive species.

A likely reason for succession not reaching climax community status could be disturbances like natural disasters or human activities that disrupt the process and set it back. Additionally, limitations in available nutrients or resources can prevent certain species from establishing and developing in a habitat. Lastly, invasive species might outcompete native species and hinder the progression towards a climax community.
Invasive species can be found in various ecosystems, including wetlands, forests, and marine environments. They often arrive through human activities, such as global trade, travel, and the release of pets into the wild. For example, the zebra mussel invaded North American waterways, likely introduced via ballast water from ships. These species can disrupt local ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources and altering habitats.
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.
Several factors could prevent a nonnative species of fish from becoming invasive in a lake, including the presence of natural predators that keep its population in check. Limited food resources or competition with established native species for habitat and nutrients can also restrict its growth and reproduction. Additionally, environmental conditions, such as temperature and water chemistry, may not be suitable for the nonnative species to thrive.
Several factors could prevent a nonnative fish species from becoming invasive in a lake, including the presence of natural predators that keep its population in check. Limited food resources or unsuitable habitat conditions may also hinder its ability to thrive. Additionally, if the fish cannot reproduce successfully in the new environment due to incompatible breeding conditions or lack of suitable mates, its population may remain low.
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.

Invasive species to an ecosystem results in an increase in biodiversity.

Myrmosula pacifica Mickel was likely extirpated due to habitat loss, environmental changes, and possibly competition or predation from invasive species. Its specific habitat requirements may have made it vulnerable to these pressures, leading to its decline in populations. Conservation efforts and habitat protection are essential to prevent further loss of such unique species.
Species that are invasive, have a very limited range, or are at the top of the food chain are less likely to be vital parts of a present-day ecosystem. These species could disrupt the balance and functioning of the ecosystem, making them less integral to its overall health and stability.
