Question 13 • CA-Life Science B (High School)
Introduced species are more likely to establish when the new habitat has conditions similar to those they are adapted to. They may spread if they outcompete native species, have few or no native predators in the new ecosystem, reproduce quickly, or tolerate a wide range of conditions. A different habitat, native predators, and low reproductive rates generally make establishment more difficult.
