If so, what are the potential consequences they pose to other animals or plants?
Sure. For example, sockeye salmon (red salmon) have been doing very well, in contrast to some other salmon species.

Basically anything with a fast reproduction cycle should be able to handle it. Obviously microbes and most insects will find a new home as long as we don’t collide the moon on earth and turn the entire planet into a ball of lava.
