Thank you for the correction. I appreciate your input.

which is it

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. The correct negative issues that an invasive species might present are:

- They might introduce other organisms, like viruses and bacteria.
- They might disrupt the ecosystem's balance, leading to cascading effects on other species and the environment.
- They might outcompete native species for resources, leading to a decrease in biodiversity.

only pick one

The one negative issue that an invasive species might present is that they can disrupt the ecosystem's balance, leading to cascading effects on other species and the environment.
