25 multiple choice 2 points why do invasive species often threaten community stability? they increase biodiversity they reproduce slowly and cannot adapt they outcompete native species and disrupt ecological balance they improve native species competition
Invasive species often outcompete native species for resources like food, water, and space. This disrupts the ecological balance as native species may decline or go extinct. Increasing biodiversity (if invasive species are non - native and dominant) is not a threat to community stability in a negative sense here. Reproducing slowly and inability to adapt would not make them a threat. Improving native species competition is the opposite of what invasive species do.
