If a nonnative species of squirrel is introduced into a forest, one of the things that can prevent it from reaching an invasive status is if the squirrel competes with stronger organisms for resources.

Competition is one of the factors that limit the growth of organisms' populations.

All other factors being equal, a combination of some of the following will make the squirrel attain an invasive status:

  • The absence of natural predators means that the squirrel's population is not threatened in any way.
  • Low biodiversity in the forest ecosystem means that the squirrel will experience very little to no competition for resources
  • Reproducing quickly in the ecosystem means that the population will boom in no time.
