The 406 pages that link to Invasive species, each with the reason it gives.
AntRelated: Introduced ants can disrupt native communities and become difficult pests.
Pollinator declineRelated: Introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens can add pressure to pollinator populations.
Assisted migrationCompared with: A moved species can become invasive if it spreads beyond the intended site and causes harm.
AvicultureRelated: Escaped or released captive birds can establish populations beyond their native ranges.
Biodiversity monitoringBroader topic: Early detection monitoring can reveal new invasions before they spread widely.
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.
Introduced speciesBroader topic: Only some introduced species become invasive under common ecological definitions.
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.
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.
Pollinator gardenCompared with: A plant’s attractiveness to pollinators does not outweigh the risks of its invasiveness.
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.
BambooNarrower topic: Running bamboo can escape cultivation and form difficult-to-control stands.
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.
EucalyptusNarrower topic: Introduced eucalyptus species can dominate habitats or alter local fire regimes.
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.
South GeorgiaNarrower topic: Introduced rats threatened South Georgia’s ground-nesting birds until eradication efforts removed them.
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.
Wild boarNarrower topic: Introduced wild boars can damage ecosystems and agriculture beyond their native range.
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.
European rabbitNarrower topic: Introduced European rabbits meet this definition in several regions, notably Australia.
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.
Aedes aegyptiNarrower topic: Aedes aegypti became established far beyond Africa through human transport and trade.
