What do you think an invasive species is?
Well, invasive species are any living organism that causes harm to humans, the economy or the ecosystem.
These species have similar traits which help to identify them, they have a : fast growth rate rapid reproduction high dispersal ability
Invasive species are capable of causing more harm then you realise, they can completely wipe out native plants and animals to that area, forcing them to extinction. Invasive species can reduce biodiversity, they can alter ecosystem and cause harmful competition to other native species for resources. An invasive species can be anything from a fungi to feral animals even to weeds.
In Australia we suffer with the problem of invasive species. We have the worst record …show more content…
Some of the Native animals to Australia eat frogs, when the cane toad came these native animals begun to eat them. However dying due to their highly poisons defence. Only a few animals have been known to kill and eat the cane toad without harm. The Australia crows, the wolf spider, tranchular, meat ants and the water beetles. After the horrible effects of introducing the cane toad into Australia, Australians have learn a major lesson. Australians has know been more educated by experiencing the horrible effects of these species, also through schools, campaigns and advertisements. The government have come up with many new ways to improve the situation and make sure it doesn't happen again. Some of these preventions that have already been shown to be …show more content…
One of these ecological effects is the canes toads devastating impact on the Argus monitor. The argus monitor has rapidly decreased 90% since the cane toad has been introduced. An economic effect has been the impact on the global economy. It is estimated that the global cost of invasive species management is equal to 5% of the global economy. Then there is the human harm that is caused by these species. In the cane toads case, people have been killed by eating and even have contacted with the toad in their mouths, due to their poison on its skin. Twitching, vomiting, shallow breathing, temporary blindness and intense pain are all the symptoms that can occur after eating the toad, however death can occur after 15
