Question
The introduction of two types of new species can threaten an existing population with extinction. One type is a competitor, what is the other type?
Solution
The other type of species that can threaten an existing population with extinction is a predator. Predators can directly reduce the population size of a species by hunting and consuming individuals. This can lead to a rapid decrease in population size and potentially lead to extinction if the predation rate is higher than the reproduction rate of the species.
