What is the difference between competition and predation?
Competition: Introduced invasive species compete against native species for essential resources such as food and habitat.Predation: Introduced predators can have more impact on prey population than native predators, as prey may not have adaptions to escape or fight them.

How are native species and introduced species related?

Why are the introduced species causing damage to Australian native animals?
In the first place, introduced species threaten the food supplies of native animals. Introduced species tend to breed more quickly than native species, so they eat more, often razing feeding grounds which would support native herbivores for months by eating vegetation right down to the roots. Secondly, many introduced species are predators, and native Australian animals have not developed effective defence adaptations against predators that are new to them. Introduced plant species tend to spread more quickly through native habitats, killing off native plant species which might provide the natural food of Australian animals.
What are species that migrate or are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem called?
