Nonnative Species In Aquatic Ecosystems

Question 14 • IC Environmental Science - Deering

Which of the following is not true about nonnative species?

Answer
A
They can have positive impacts on an ecosystem.
B
They can have negative impacts on an ecosystem.
C
They can be introduced within their natural range.
D
A nonnative species can be an invasive species.

Explanation

A nonnative species is one that occurs in an area outside its natural range, usually because people moved it there. So it can have positive or negative effects, and some nonnative species become invasive. The statement that it can be introduced within its natural range is not true: within that range, it is native.
