Why do invasive species represent a threat to Brazilian biodiversity?

• Invasive species do not affect the balance of ecosystems

• Invasive species compete with native species for resources, prey on them, alter ecosystems, and can lead to the extinction of endemic species.

• Invasive species promote biological diversity

• Invasive species are beneficial to native species

How can invasive species cause imbalances in Brazilian ecosystems?

• Competing for resources, excessive predation, disease transmission, and alteration of the environment.

• Introduction of new beneficial species

• Decrease in competition between species

• Improvement in ecological diversity

What are the main methods used to control invasive species in Brazil?

• Manual control, ecological control, and genetic control

• Genetic control, physical control, and chemical control

• Biological control, chemical control, and mechanical control

• Thermal control, physical control, and biological control

What are the costs associated with managing invasive species in Brazil?

How can invasive species compete with native species for resources?

• Invasive species avoid native species to avoid competing for resources

• Invasive species collaborate with native species in the search for resources

• Invasive species compete with native species for resources by occupying the same ecological niche and consuming the same food, water, and space.

• Invasive species do not affect native species in resource competition

What are the preventive measures that can be taken to avoid the spread of invasive species in Brazil?

• Border inspection, population awareness, control and eradication programs, sustainable agricultural practices.
