Warming conditions are beneficial to invasive species because if the location used to be too cold for non-native species, it is now warm enough to allow them to exist. Option D is correct.
What are invasive species?
When species move and establish in a new area, out of their original distribution range, they might be considered exotic or invasive, according to their
• reproductive rate,
• population growth, and
• interaction with native species.
When a new species stablishes and overgrow in a new area, negatively affecting native ecosystems dinamics, they are considered invasive species.
The introduction of invasive species has ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences.
In the new areas, these species have less environmental pressure and better conditions than in their origin area -fewer predators, more resources, better nitches-.
These factors favor their establishment because they are adapted to surviving under harder conditions.
They interact with native species by
- Competing for resources such -water, place, radiation, exposure, shelter, food, etcetera-.
- Predating on native species, consuming a wide diversity of prey items, and in many cases, there are no native species that may prey on them.
They provoke significant damages in the structure of native ecosystems, causing severe damage in endemic species.
They produce ecological imbalances in the trophic chains and the dynamics of communities. Invasive species are uncontrollable.
Areas that get warmer due to climate change provide a propicious environment for invasive species to stablish and overgrow.
Temperature is not a limmiting factor any more for these species, so they can move and stablish in these areas.
Warming conditions are beneficial to invasive species because if the location used to be too cold for non-native species, it is now warm enough to allow them to exist.
