an invasive species
The name given to an unwanted species introduced from another part of the world where it normally lives is an "invasive species." These organisms can harm the environment, economy, and human health by outcompeting native species or disrupting ecosystems.
The second part of the scientific name, known as the specific epithet, is unique to each species within a genus. It helps to distinguish one species from another within the same genus and is specific to that particular organism.
The most detailed level of classification is species. Organisms within the same species share similar characteristics and can reproduce with one another to produce fertile offspring. This classification is followed by genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom.
Ring species complicate classification because they show a gradual change in characteristics among neighboring populations that can lead to challenges in defining clear species boundaries. The continuous variation in traits can make it difficult to determine where one species ends and another begins, blurring traditional classification criteria. This phenomenon highlights the complexity of species concepts and the limitations of traditional classification systems.
The two main reasons for individuals of the same species to compete are for limited resources, such as food, water, shelter, or mates, and to establish dominance or hierarchy within the group. This competition can help drive evolutionary adaptations and ensure the survival of the fittest individuals.
The ladybird or ladybug actually is a family of species, called Coccinellidae. If you want the scientific name a specific ladybug, count the spots, because a species normally has a specific amount of spots.
