Question 6 • NY-Life Science: BiologyTerm 2 Hillcrest
Nonnative species may arrive without the predators that kept their populations in check, allowing them to grow rapidly and disrupt ecosystems. They can also compete with native species for food, space, and other resources. Providing more niches or food is not the typical reason they threaten biodiversity, and they do not generally cause an area’s climate to become cooler.
