The prey of a natural predator has evolved along side the predator so has developed ways to cope, such as being able to climb a tree.
Now let's say you intoduce a predator that can also climb a tree... the prey doesn't stand a chance. Another reason is that, for thousands of years, certain species have eaten certain foods. Another larger or more voracious, species, or even one that breeds much more quickly, can wipe out the native animals' food sources. This is why the rabbit, for example, is so destructive for Australian native wildlife.

Why are non-native species dangerous to ecosystems?
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.
What are species that migrate or are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem called?
Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
What is introduced species and what types of damage can it cause?
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.
IF an introduced species thrives and grows in an area it can disrupt a delicately balanced ecosystem. Introduced species can a and placement biodiversity in several ways.?
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.
How could introduced species disrupt existing feeding 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.

How are native species and introduced species related?
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.

What is the species that is not native to a ecosystem?
It's an introduced species such as rabbits being introduced into Australia.
Introduced species can have important effects on biological communities by?
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)
What is a native sheep to Australia?
Sheep are not native to Australia - they are an introduced species.
Are donkeys an introduced species of Australia?
Yes. Donkeys are introduced, and not native to Australia.
Why are the introduced species causing damage to Australian native animals?
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.
What are species that migrate or are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem called?
Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
Is the panda species introduced or are they native?
That depends. What area are you talking about? In some areas, pandas are native and in other areas, pandas are introduced. It depends on the location of which you are asking. They are native to China.
Causes of extinction in New Zealand?
Introduced species and habitat loss are the primary causes of extinction of native species in New Zealand. Introduced species such as feral cats, foxes, rats and stoats have decimated some native populations. Even the brushtail possum, rainbow lorikeets, black swan and cockatoos which have been introduced from Australia, threaten the habitat of native New Zealand species.

Are snow leopards an introduced species?
snow leopards are a very beautiful animal in the Himilayas and is an introduced species. It is hard to get footage of itAlternate answer:Snow leopards are native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Since they are native to these areas, they are not an introduced species. Snow leopards are an endangered species and they tend to be very elusive creatures.
