Invasive species can have several negative ecological impacts on native ecosystems. Some of these impacts include outcompeting native species for resources such as food and habitat, disrupting the natural balance of the ecosystem, altering nutrient cycling processes, and reducing biodiversity. Invasive species can also introduce new diseases or parasites that native species are not adapted to, leading to population declines or extinctions. Overall, invasive species can significantly change the structure and function of native ecosystems, often resulting in long-term ecological consequences.
