Question

What is bioinvasion? Provide an example of bioinvasion and explain how it causes changes in an ecosystem.

Answer 1

Answer:

Biological invasions are characterized by remarkable spatiotemporal dynamics with many species having extended their distribution ranges from within a single region to cover very large areas on several continents within the last century.

Example of Bioinvasion

The Amazonian water hyacinth has spread along the margins of Lake Victoria, where it impedes fishing. In an increasingly globalized world, plants, animals, and microbes are introduced more and more frequently into regions that had never hosted them.
