Introduced Species Unit 3. 3
Species that are natural to an area Species that are not natural to an area • they are transported into the area • by tourists • seeds stuck on ships, cars, traveler’s shoes • can help or have no effect on ecosystem An introduced species that causes harm • high reproduction rate • are aggressive competitors • have no predators
Invasive Species in BC, 2014
Invasive species can damage/remove native species from an ecosystem in 4 ways: Competition • outcompete native species for resources • grow really fast • roots choke roots of native species Predation • if the native species have never been hunted before, they lack the adaptations to survive predation
Predation Invasive species of rat hunts on a native bird’s eggs, causing the bird population to decline. The invasive bullfrog hunts mice, which have never been hunted before by bullfrogs and thus lack natural defense mechanisms.
Invasive species can damage/remove native species from an ecosystem in 4 ways: Competition • outcompete native species for resources • grow really fast • roots choke roots of native species Disease and Parasites • if native species have never been exposed to foreign diseases and parasites before, they can get wiped out • detrimental if keystone species affected Predation • if the native species have never been hunted before, they lack the adaptations to survive predation
Disease and Parasites A parasitic fungus. Its spores was transported on the fur of an invasive animal. The native trees have never been exposed to this before, and so are very susceptible to the attack.

Habitat Alteration This particular aquatic weed grows so fast it covers the surface of the water, blocking sunlight for life below.
Habitat Alteration This wetland weed excretes toxins from its roots that disintegrates the roots of plants growing near it, thereby conquering more territory.
