- Native and indigenous are similar meaning words that refer to naturally growing plants, living animals, and even original inhabitants of a particular region.
- When using for animals, indigenous is used for species, while native is used for particular animals and not whole species.
- For human beings, both native and indigenous are used almost interchangeably.

Difference between native and non native species?
The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.
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?
Eventually, all native species had to have been introduced sometime. So, native species are introduced species that have been in the ecosystem for a long time, and it and the other organisms have adapted to each other.

What is the species that is not native to a ecosystem?

What is the difference between a native species and an introduced species?
Native plants are plants that belong to an environment (they have evolved there). Exotic plants are plants that have been imported from elsewhere in the world and are not natural to the environment in which they are now living.
Are donkeys an introduced species of Australia?

Why are non-native species dangerous to ecosystems?
Sometimes a non-native species can be introduced into an environment as a way to address an environmental problem. Other times these are introduced by accident.
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.
Is introduced species the same as invasive species?
No, introduced species and invasive species are not the same. An introduced species is any non-native species that has been brought to a new environment, either intentionally or accidentally. Invasive species, on the other hand, are a subset of introduced species that cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health by outcompeting native species or disrupting ecological balances. Not all introduced species become invasive; some can coexist peacefully within their new environments.
