A possible example of an invasive species outcompeting a native species for shelter or space and spreading rapidly could be the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in freshwater ecosystems.
Zebra mussels are native to the Caspian Sea region but were introduced to North America in the 1980s through ballast water of ships. They have since become highly invasive in many freshwater habitats. Zebra mussels attach themselves to hard surfaces such as rocks, shells, and even other animals, often forming dense colonies. In doing so, they can take up space and displace native species that rely on the same substrates for attachment or shelter, such as native freshwater mussels.
Additionally, zebra mussels have no natural predators in their introduced habitats, which allows them to reproduce and spread rapidly. They are filter feeders, consuming plankton and suspended organic particles from the water column. This can lead to competition with native species, such as native bivalves and small crustaceans, which also rely on plankton as a food resource.
Because of their rapid colonization and ability to outcompete native species for space and resources, zebra mussels have had significant ecological and economic impacts, clogging water intake pipes, damaging infrastructure, and negatively affecting native species populations.
