How do introduced species cause problems for biodiversity? What makes a species invasive? When humans introduce non-native species to a new environment, it can have disastrous impacts on native species and the entire ecosystem. For more biodiversity tutorials, visit http://bit.ly/cas-khan.

Native species can be either endemic, found only within a particular region) or indigenous which is found both within the region and elsewhere.

the variety of different types of life found on earth. It is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems. This can be genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species variation within an area, biome, or planet.

The similarities of the two articles are that they both talk about how the introduction of a new species in its non-native land and how it can effect the community or ecosystem in the long run. For example they both discuss the effects on other species' populations and the effects on the producers' population. All of which lead to effects on the food web.

This is an introduced species but it is also endangered. It lives in forests and swamps of Florida. They are usually found in pinelands, hardwood hammocks and mix swap forests.

Narive to Central and South Americas. It has also been introduced to a variety of islands. Its reproductive success is partly because of opportunistic feeding: it's diet. Both dead and living matter.

It is native to the southeast and southwest of Australia. It was hunted to extinction ad New Zealand and was late introduced in parts of Australia. They are usually found by themsleves or with a limited amoutn of comapninies.

An introduced species ( alien species, exotic species, non-indigenous species, or non-native species) is a species living outside its native distributional range, which has arrived there by human activity, either deliberate or accidental. Non-native species can have various effects on the local ecosystem.

When people bring new species into an environment in which they do not belong, they are considered Introduced species. If the species does not adapt , it will die out. If they are in competition, with one or more species, they will also die out. However , if the species breeds and survives , it will affect the native species. Now that the species is part of the ecosystem, it will compete for resources, change grazing patterns, and/or change the predator/prey dynamics. This can affect the other species and even lead tho their extinction , or growth.
