What is an example of an alien species?

Answer 1

Alien species:

1. These are the plants, pathogens, and animals which are non-native to an ecosystem.
2. The alien species when introduced to an ecosystem can have major effects on the environment, human health, and economy as these species may lack their natural predators and can carry diseases, alter the food chains, and can even change the ecosystems by altering soil composition or creating such habitats that encourage wildfires.

Example of alien species: Bullfrogs are an example of an invasive species.

1. These frogs are native to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.
2. The bullfrogs have very short breeding seasons.
3. The tadpoles of these frogs are carnivorous and eat other tadpoles including tadpoles of their species.
