Question

A major cause of biodiversity loss and species extinction in North Caroline is due to the introduction of invasive non-native species in the ecosystem. Many invasive species come for the similar climatic conditions where they can thrive, but most arrive by human transport on accident or on purpose. Some examples include: Bradford pears, Japanese honeysuckle, Asian carp, and brown tree snake.

A) destroying habitats

B) prey on native species

C) destroying food sources

D) increases reproduction of native species

Answer 1

Answer:

The option D)  increases reproduction of native species is NOT an impact that an invasive non-native species has on an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Introduction of a non-native species into a stable ecosystem can be very threatful to the ecosystem. The non-native species will compete for resources with the native species of the area. As a result, there will be severe competition. The competition might lead to migration of the native species or them being endangered on the whole. Also, the introduction of a non-native species will result in the extinction of a particular prey as it will have an increase in the number of predators.
