URGENT PLEASE WILL GIVE MEDAL :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Introduced species often thrive and multiply in an environment very different from their original one. Why are they often able to do so well in their new habitat?
An introduced, alien, exotic, non-indigenous, or non-native species, or simply an introduction, 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. Introduced species that have a negative effect on a local ecosystem are also known as invasive species. Not all non-native species are considered invasive. Some have no negative effect and can, in fact, be beneficial as an alternative to pesticides in agriculture for example.
An invasive species is a plant or animal that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species); and has a tendency to spread, which is believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy and/or human health.[1]
@crazyjay100 Thank you! It also told me to use the term "out-compete" in it? Do you know where I should say it?
