| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do invasive species get into ecosystems? | An invasive species gains an advantage over native species when a population is unchecked. It can increase rapidly and become invasive. |
| How do they damage the ecosystem? | Invasive species compete with or feed on native species, leading to population decline or extinction. Invasive species change ecosystem dynamics by altering nutrient cycles or energy flow. |
| How can we stop species from entering ecosystems? | They can be controlled through use of pesticides, physical barriers or removal, or intentionally introduced organisms to control the invasive species. |
