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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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]
