Question

armadillos, like the one shown below, are a nonnative species in the florida ecosystem that dig holes in the ground looking for food. which consequence could result from the introduction of this nonnative species into the florida ecosystem? a stabilization of erosion of top soil b lower competition between native species c increase in habitat range for native species d introduction of new pathogens/disease to the ecosystem

Explanation:

Non - native species often carry pathogens or diseases that native species have no immunity to. Digging holes by armadillos can cause soil erosion rather than stabilize it. They increase competition for resources among native species and can reduce the habitat range for native species.

Answer:

D. introduction of new pathogens/disease to the ecosystem
