The most appropriate response to the question regarding the issue of invasive species in relation to increased temperature and stressed ecosystems is:

Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.

This statement highlights the ability of invasive species to exploit the vulnerabilities of ecosystems that are already under stress, making it easier for them to establish and spread.
