Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isolated island species have evolved in isolation and have often developed unique adaptations and have a low genetic diversity, which makes them particularly vulnerable to the introduction of exotic species. Without natural predators, these exotic species can quickly proliferate and crowd out or prey on native species, leading to devastating ecological consequences.
