Warming leads to longer life spans for the animals because none die due to exposure to the cold.

Answer 1

The most accurate response is:

If the location used to be too cold for non-native species, it is now warm enough to allow them to exist.

This option directly addresses how warming conditions create a new opportunity for invasive species to thrive in areas that were previously inhospitable due to colder temperatures.
