Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Species that are accidentally introduced into new geographic regions can become pests as they may have no natural predators and can outcompete or prey on native species, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. This can have negative effects on agriculture, forestry, and human health. While plants and aquatic organisms may also be introduced accidentally, they can still become pests in their new environment.
