Introductions can drastically affect populations, including through hybridization.<ref name="A2007" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vitousek |first1=Peter M. |last2=D'Antonio |first2=Carla M. |last3=Loope |first3=Lloyd L. |last4=Rejmánek |first4=Marcel |last5=Westbrooks |first5=Randy |date=1997 |title=Introduced Species: A Significant Component of Human-Caused Global Change |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24054520 |journal=New Zealand Journal of Ecology |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=1–16 |jstor=24054520 |issn=0110-6465}}</ref>
