The 406 pages that link to Invasive species, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed dispersalRelated: Dispersal pathways help explain how invasive plants expand into new areas.

• Trophic cascadeRelated: An invader can trigger cascades by becoming a predator, prey, or competitor.

• HerbivoryRelated: Introduced herbivores can damage native vegetation where plants lack defenses against them.

• Biodiversity lossRelated: Some introduced species prey on, outcompete, or alter habitats for native species.

• DecapodaRelated: Introduced decapods can displace native species and alter freshwater habitats.

• InsectRelated: Introduced insects can disrupt ecosystems and damage crops or forests.

• MolluscaRelated: Introduced mollusks such as zebra mussels can transform freshwater ecosystems.

• National parkRelated: Park managers control invasive species that threaten native ecosystems.

• Ray-finned fishRelated: Introduced ray-finned fishes can restructure food webs and displace native species.

• Urban forestryRelated: Diversifying city plantings can improve resilience, but poorly chosen species may become invasive.

• Intertidal zoneRelated: Introduced organisms can displace native species and transform intertidal habitats.

• Ornamental plantRelated: Some ornamental plants escape cultivation and displace native species.

• Forest successionRelated: Invasive plants can alter regeneration and redirect forest succession.

• CanalRelated: Canals can connect watersheds and provide pathways for species to spread.

• Cryptic speciesRelated: Cryptic distinctions can obscure which lineage was introduced or is spreading.

• Flowering plantRelated: Some introduced flowering plants become dominant and alter native ecosystems.

• HerbariumRelated: Older specimens can document when and where introduced plants first appeared.

• MustelidaeRelated: Introduced American mink have harmed native wildlife in parts of Europe and elsewhere.

• Phenotypic plasticityRelated: Plasticity can help some introduced species tolerate unfamiliar conditions.

• Riparian zoneRelated: Disturbed river margins can provide pathways and favorable sites for invasive species.

• CrabRelated: Introduced crabs can disrupt habitats and compete with native species.

• FrugivoreRelated: Frugivores can disperse the seeds of introduced plants, sometimes aiding their spread.

• SeabirdRelated: Introduced rats and cats can devastate seabirds nesting on predator-naive islands.

• Desert ecologyRelated: Introduced grasses and other species can alter fire, competition, and habitat in deserts.

• GastropodaRelated: Introduced gastropods can disrupt native ecosystems and agriculture.

• Freshwater fishRelated: Introduced fish can compete with, prey on, or hybridize with native species.

• AfforestationRelated: Non-native trees introduced through planting can become invasive in some regions.

• Aquarium fishRelated: Released or escaped aquarium fish can establish harmful populations outside their native range.

• Freshwater ecologyRelated: Invasions can alter freshwater food webs, habitats, and native populations.

• AntRelated: Introduced ants can disrupt native communities and become difficult pests.

• Pollinator declineRelated: Introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens can add pressure to pollinator populations.

• AvicultureRelated: Escaped or released captive birds can establish populations beyond their native ranges.

• Insect declineRelated: Introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens can add pressure to vulnerable insect populations.

• Lake BaikalRelated: Introduced organisms could disrupt Baikal’s unusually isolated native communities.

• CrustaceaRelated: Introduced crustaceans can disrupt food webs and displace native species.

• HabitatRelated: Introduced species can alter habitat conditions and displace native organisms.

• Host plantRelated: New host plants can enable introduced insects to establish and spread.

• MalacostracaRelated: Some introduced malacostracans alter food webs and compete with native species.

• Soil biodiversityRelated: Introduced organisms can alter soil communities and the functions they perform.
