Kudzu is an evasive species introduced to Mt. Everest to help with erosion control. The kudzu crowds out the native species and prevents them from flourishing.
A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.
If you're really interested I suggest doing some research. Search google scholar (A better search engine for scientific papers and studies) in google and then search for some key words like 'invasive species control' etc. There has been lots of interest in this field in recent years so there should be some good papers. Also if you feel that reading papers is too heavy watch a couple of episodes of a show called 'python hunters'. It looks at invasive reptiles in florida and how these men are trying to control their populations.
increased the risk of introducing invasive species that can threaten native plant species. This can lead to ecosystem disruption and loss of biodiversity. Additionally, some imported plants can outcompete native species for resources, further impacting the delicate balance of Hawaii's unique ecosystems.
Due to the fact that the climate on Mount Everest is so harsh, it is no surprise that very little lives on the mountain itself. However, there are some things that have been found on Everest. Of course, the vast majority of these things have been found at the bottom of the mountain, but some are surprisingly much higher up. The Euophrys omnisuperstes is a small jumping spider that lives 22,000ft up Mount Everest. The Bar-Headed Goose has been seen flying around Everest at up to thirty thousand feet. Another bird that has been known to survive on Everest is the Chough, this bird has been seen as high as 7,920 meters.
Wallabies face threats from habitat loss, predation by invasive species like foxes and cats, and competition with livestock for food. Additionally, climate change impacts their natural habitats and food sources. Conservation efforts are ongoing, but these challenges have significantly reduced their populations, putting some species at risk of extinction.
some invasive species are the red-eared slider turtle, and the zebra mussles
Yes, cattails can be considered an invasive species in certain regions. They are fast-growing plants that can take over wetland habitats, outcompeting native species and reducing biodiversity. Management efforts may be necessary to control their spread in some areas.

Invasive species are species that are not native to an area. They typically will thrive in their new environment and in doing so will change the ecosystem by starving out the native species. Some examples of invasive species in America are Japanese beetles, Asian carp, kudzu, phragmites and many many more.
Some species of larkspur can be invasive, such as Delphinium tricorne in certain regions. These plants can outcompete native species and disrupt the local ecosystem. It is important to check with local authorities before planting larkspur to ensure it is not classified as invasive in your area.
Some invasive species in California include the nutria, yellow starthistle, Mediterranean fruit fly, and Asian citrus psyllid. These species have negative impacts on the environment, agriculture, and native wildlife populations. Efforts are ongoing to control and manage these invasive species in order to protect California's ecosystems.
Ring Neck Pheasant European Starling House Sparrow Are all invasive species in North America.
Some invasive species in Pennsylvania include Japanese knotweed, emerald ash borer, spotted lanternfly, and garlic mustard. These invasive species can outcompete native plants and animals, disrupting the local ecosystem and causing harm to the environment. Control efforts are ongoing to manage their impact.
Non-native and invasive species can impact population size by outcompeting native species for resources, preying on native species, disrupting ecosystem dynamics, and spreading diseases. They can lead to declines in native populations by altering habitats and food availability. In some cases, invasive species can even drive native species to extinction.
No, not all introduced species are invasive because they may have a natural predator that will eat them in their new environment. Also because the species can be biologically controlled, chemically controlled or mechanically controlled.
Penstemons are not considered invasive plants. They are native to North America and are generally well-behaved in gardens and landscapes. However, some species of penstemon may self-seed and spread in the right conditions, but they are not typically classified as invasive.
