What happens when a non-native species (plant or animal) is introduced into a new environment? Give ONE example and thoroughly explain, citing references. Solution Answer= The relocation of organisms across geological boundries occurs naturally by various means Some species may be introduced & not be able to survive in new environment & their populations sour e.g. lack of predators may contribute to their rapid population increases Introduced species have pronouced effects on their new ecosystem called as invasive species these effects includes 1] outcompeting native species 2] causing native species extinction 3] Altering ecosystem functioning Example- Brown snake tree(Boiga irregularis ) is an invasive that has tought scientist much about impact of introduced species on islands The ivvasion has created significant ecological problems It is an aggressive predator causing extinction of local species has impact on human health Citing reference.

1. What happens when a non-native species (plant or animal) is introduced into a new
environment? Give ONE example and thoroughly explain, citing references.
Solution
Answer= The relocation of organisms across geological boundries occurs naturally by various
means
Some species may be introduced & not be able to survive in new environment & their
populations sour
e.g. lack of predators may contribute to their rapid population increases
Introduced species have pronouced effects on their new ecosystem called as invasive species
these effects includes
1] outcompeting native species
2] causing native species extinction
3] Altering ecosystem functioning
Example- Brown snake tree(Boiga irregularis ) is an invasive that has tought scientist much
about impact of introduced species on islands
The ivvasion has created significant ecological problems
It is an aggressive predator
causing extinction of local species
has impact on human health
