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.
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.

Native species are those that naturally occur and have evolved in a specific region or ecosystem, while introduced species are those that have been brought into a new environment by human activities. Introduced species can have negative effects on native species by outcompeting them for resources, predating on them, or introducing diseases. Native and introduced species can interact through competition, predation, and other ecological relationships in the same environment.
It's an introduced species such as rabbits being introduced into Australia.
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)
Sheep are not native to Australia - they are an introduced species.
Yes. Donkeys are introduced, and not native to Australia.
A native species is one that naturally occurs and evolved in a specific region, whereas an introduced species is one that has been brought to a new area by human activities. Introduced species can sometimes disrupt local ecosystems and outcompete native species for resources.
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.
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.
Species that migrate are called migratory species, while species that are accidentally introduced into an ecosystem are called invasive species.
