Is it true that invasive species can cause ecological collapse?
Yes. A peer-reviewed review of invasive freshwater fishes states that invasive populations can cause substantial ecological impacts sufficiently harmful to be considered as contributing to ecosystem collapse. Other sources describe invasive-driven biodiversity decline, regime shifts and population collapses, supporting the claim more narrowly.
