An organism that is not native to a geographic location. The local Biosphere will not be able to balance its presence with any control features such as disease or predators. The organism will then unchallenged begin to colonise the new environment, in many cases to the detriment of local organisms.

In some cases the invasive species is a predator to which local prey have evolved defences such as the mink.

In other cases the invasive organise may carry a pathogen which is highly dangerous to the local population, an example the grey squirrel.
