Kangaroo Invasion In Texas: Impacts, Threats, And Management Strategies
The introduction of kangaroos in Texas highlights the growing issue of non-native species. Their invasibility is attributed to Texas’ suitable habitat and low competitive resistance. Kangaroos’ niche overlap with native species leads to competition for resources, while their dual role as prey and predators disrupts food chains. Their overgrazing and habitat destruction contribute to ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and reduced ecosystem services. Managing kangaroo populations and mitigating their impacts requires understanding ecosystem resilience and implementing effective management strategies.
