Invasive species can also hide in produce crates during overseas travel.

How would you define the term invasive species?

An invasive species is a non-native organism that, upon introduction to a new environment, causes harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health. These species often outcompete native species for resources, disrupt food webs, and can lead to significant ecological imbalances. Their spread is typically facilitated by human activities, such as trade and travel. Control and management of invasive species are crucial to preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem health.

What are the different examples of bio invasion?

Examples of bioinvasion include the introduction of invasive species such as zebra mussels in North America, cane toads in Australia, and lionfish in the Caribbean. These invasive species can disrupt ecosystems, outcompete native species, and lead to biodiversity loss. Bioinvasion often occurs due to human activities such as trade, travel, and transportation.


Plants and animals that are not native to an area?

Non-native plants and animals, also known as invasive species, can have negative impacts on ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, disrupting natural habitats, and altering ecosystem functions. They are often introduced through human activities such as global trade, travel, and intentional release, and can pose serious threats to biodiversity and ecological balance. Efforts to control and manage invasive species include prevention, early detection, and rapid response strategies.
