These so-called 'exotic species' may establish, spread and ecologically alter the invaded community.…

affect many other things as well. It is like a chain reaction. One thing affects another thing, which affects another thing, and that thing affects another thing. First of all, what is Overpopulation and how does it occur? Overpopulation occurs when a species has a population larger than the ecosystem can support.

disrupt and also alter our ecosystems. When you take a look around our environment, most living organisms that you see were introduced primarily by human activity.
