Give an example of how invasive species have taught about the importance of predators or herbivores. For your example, explain where it happened, what organisms were involved, and what was short-term ecological outcome. What was the long-term (current) outcome? What, if anything, changed the course of this outcome?

Expert Solution
Step 1

An invasive species refers to a non-native species, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, that are introduced and establish themselves in an ecosystem outside of their natural range. Invasive species often have the ability to rapidly reproduce and spread, and they can outcompete native species for resources, disrupt natural ecosystems, and cause significant economic or environmental harm. Their introduction can be accidental or intentional, and they can be introduced by human activity such as trade, transport, and travel. Invasive species can pose a threat to biodiversity, human health, and ecosystem services.
