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

• Species distributionRelated: Tracking its expanding distribution helps identify and contain biological invasions.

• Lake TanganyikaRelated: Introduced species could alter food webs and compete with native lake life.

• Edge effectsRelated: Disturbed edge conditions can facilitate the establishment and spread of some invasive species.

• Inland waterwayRelated: Connected waterways can let aquatic species spread between formerly isolated basins.

• Plant identificationRelated: Recognizing invasive plants early depends on accurate identification in the field.

• RaccoonRelated: Introduced raccoons have established populations outside their native range, including in Japan and Europe.

• Taxonomic revisionRelated: Revised identifications can change which organisms are tracked as invasive.

• AcaciaRelated: Some introduced acacias spread aggressively and alter habitats outside their native ranges.

• AlbatrossRelated: Introduced predators such as mice can attack albatross chicks on nesting islands.

• Clonal colonyRelated: Clonal growth can help some invasive plants establish and expand from small fragments.

• Island ecologyRelated: Island communities are especially vulnerable to introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens.

• Salt marshRelated: Introduced plants can displace native marsh vegetation and reshape habitat.

• Aquatic ecosystemRelated: Introductions can disrupt food webs and displace native aquatic organisms.

• DefaunationRelated: Introduced predators and competitors can drive native animals from ecosystems.

• Holocene extinctionRelated: Introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens have caused many island extinctions.

• IslandRelated: Island ecosystems can be especially vulnerable to introduced predators, plants, and pathogens.

• PheasantRelated: Some introduced pheasants can affect native habitats and species, though impacts vary by place.

• Seabird conservationRelated: Introduced predators can kill eggs, chicks, and adults at seabird colonies.

• Thermal pollutionRelated: Warm discharges can favor heat-tolerant species and reshape competition in receiving waters.

• AquariumRelated: Released aquarium organisms can establish outside captivity and disrupt local ecosystems.

• Freshwater habitatRelated: Introduced organisms can alter food webs and displace freshwater species.

• Gene driveRelated: Gene drives have been proposed to manage some invasive populations, raising risks of spread beyond target areas.

• Oceanic islandRelated: Island ecosystems with few native predators can be especially vulnerable to introduced species.

• Seaweed farmingRelated: Moving farmed species or equipment between regions can spread unwanted organisms.

• BumblebeeRelated: Introduced commercial bumblebees can spread pathogens or compete with native pollinators.

• EcotoneRelated: Disturbed ecotones can provide entry points or favorable conditions for invasive species.

• Plant successionRelated: Invasive plants can alter successional trajectories by changing competition and disturbance regimes.

• Species distribution modelingRelated: Suitability maps help identify areas vulnerable to establishment and guide surveillance.

• StolonRelated: Rapid stolon growth can help some plants expand beyond cultivation.

• Temperate deciduous forestRelated: Introduced plants, pests, and pathogens can disrupt native forest communities.

• Danube DeltaRelated: Introduced species can alter the delta’s food webs and compete with native organisms.

• House mouseRelated: Human transport carried house mice to islands and other distant habitats.

• HymenopteraRelated: Introduced ants and social wasps can disrupt native communities and impose substantial control costs.

• InsectaRelated: Introduced insects can become damaging pests when they escape ecological constraints.

• LakeRelated: Introduced species can restructure lake food webs and displace native organisms.

• Wind dispersalRelated: Wind can carry invasive plant propagules across barriers into new habitats.

• ColubridaeRelated: Introduced colubrids can disrupt ecosystems, as brown tree snakes did on Guam.

• ParasitoidRelated: Escaped parasitoid introductions can affect native hosts and disrupt local food webs.

• PhylogeographyRelated: Genetic lineages can identify invasion sources, introduction numbers, and routes of spread.

• Tropical savannaRelated: Introduced grasses can change fuel loads and make savanna fires more frequent or intense.

• AgamidaeRelated: Introduced agamids can establish outside their native ranges and alter local ecosystems.

• Aquarium tradeRelated: Released aquarium organisms can establish populations beyond their native range.

• BiofoulingRelated: Fouled vessel hulls can transport organisms between otherwise separated ecosystems.

• HerpetocultureRelated: Escaped or released captive animals can establish harmful populations outside their native ranges.

• Lake MalawiRelated: Introductions can disrupt native lake communities and fisheries.

• Mesopredator releaseRelated: Introduced mesopredators can produce release-like impacts where native top predators are absent.

• Nature reserveRelated: Invasions can undermine the species and habitats a reserve is meant to protect.

• Prince Edward IslandsRelated: Introduced species have threatened the islands’ native ecosystems and prompted eradication efforts.

• Alpine ecologyRelated: Warming and human transport can help nonnative species establish in alpine ecosystems.

• Cave BiologyRelated: Introduced organisms can threaten cave species with restricted ranges and limited refuges.
