The effect of invasive species on local food webs can be profound, often leading to disruption of existing trophic relationships. Invasive species can outcompete native species for resources, altering the dynamics of predator-prey interactions and nutrient cycling. They can also introduce diseases and shift habitat conditions, leading to declines or extinctions of native populations. Consequently, the loss of native biodiversity can weaken ecosystem resilience and stability, further complicating conservation efforts.
