While the study of invasive species can be done within many subfields of biology, the majority of research on invasive organisms has been within the field of ecology and geography where the issue of biological invasions is especially important. (wikipedia.org)
Much of the study of invasive species has been influenced by Charles Elton's 1958 book The Ecology of Invasion by Animals and Plants which drew upon the limited amount of research done within disparate fields to create a generalized picture of biological invasions. (wikipedia.org)
Alien species2
An invasive or alien species is an introduced species to an environment that becomes overpopulated and harms its new environment. (wikipedia.org)
According to Executive Order 13112, "'Invasive species' means an alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. (wikipedia.org)
Biodiversity1
Alien or naturalized species are those species which are not native to an area but established, and those that are a threat to native species and biodiversity are often called invasive species. (wikipedia.org)
Poorly1
The term "invasive" is poorly defined and often very subjective. (wikipedia.org)
Ecological3
Invasive species adversely affect habitats and bioregions, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage. (wikipedia.org)
To create this research digest, we scan over two dozen ecology journals for papers on 1) invasive species present in New York State, or the Northeast region, 2) theoretical concepts or models which may have implications for management in New York State, or 3) economic, social, or ecological impacts of invasive species on a regional or global scale. (nyisri.org)
The socio-economic and ecological impacts of invasive alien aquatic plant (IAAP) species have been well studied globally. (nyisri.org)
Populations2
The model evaluated individual populations rather than entire species. (wikipedia.org)
Manipulation of olfactory biology offers opportunities for management of populations in the Laurentian Great Lakes, where the sea lamprey is a destructive invader. (biomedcentral.com)
Introductions1
This model applied equally to indigenous and to introduced species, and did not automatically categorize successful introductions as harmful. (wikipedia.org)
Natural2
The term can also be used for native species that become harmful to their native environment after human alterations to its food web - for example, the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) which has decimated kelp forests along the northern California coast due to overharvesting of its natural predator, the California sea otter (Enhydra lutris). (wikipedia.org)
Some broaden the term to include indigenous or "native" species that have colonized natural areas. (wikipedia.org)
Influence2
Olfaction is hypothesized to influence sea lamprey behavior throughout the larval, juvenile, and adult stages [ 9 - 11 ], but only during the terminal adult phase has the role of conspecific odors been evaluated. (biomedcentral.com)
However, the influence of invasive free-floating macrophytes on epiphytic algal communities has. (nyisri.org)
Study1
We suggest that the sea lamprey is a broadly useful organism with which to study vertebrate olfaction because of its simple but well-developed olfactory organ, the dominant role of olfaction in guiding behaviors during reproduction, and the direct implications for vertebrate pest management. (biomedcentral.com)
Social1
Since the 20th century, invasive species have become a serious economic, social, and environmental threat worldwide. (wikipedia.org)
Control1
The neurobiology, function, and evolution of olfaction are particularly well described in insects, and resulting concepts have driven novel approaches to pest control. (biomedcentral.com)
Human1
some also include native species that have invaded human habitats such as farms and landscapes. (wikipedia.org)
Management2
Here, we provide a broad review of the chemical cues and pheromones used by the sea lamprey during reproduction, including overviews of the sea lamprey olfactory system, chemical cues and pheromones, and potential applications to population management. (biomedcentral.com)
ANSTF approved the National Invasive Lionfish Prevention and Management Plan. (fws.gov)
Plant species2
Notable examples of invasive plant species include the kudzu vine, Andean pampas grass, English ivy, Japanese knotweed, and yellow starthistle. (wikipedia.org)
While some plant species, like roundleaf bittersweet, will cause extensive damage, others may prove innocuous or beneficial, although scorned by the purists. (nativetreesociety.org)

Diseases1
Everything considered, the number of imported pests, diseases and competitors significantly affecting our native vascular plants is actually quite small, not to belittle some horrendous exceptions. (nativetreesociety.org)
Carp4
Prussian Carp is an invasive fish native from central Europe to Siberia. (invadingspecies.com)
Prussian Carp are a deep-bodied, robust fish similar to the invasive Goldfish and Common Carp. (invadingspecies.com)

Native5
The term can also be used for native species that become harmful to their native environment after human alterations to its food web - for example, the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) which has decimated kelp forests along the northern California coast due to overharvesting of its natural predator, the California sea otter (Enhydra lutris). (wikipedia.org)
Alien or naturalized species are those species which are not native to an area but established, and those that are a threat to native species and biodiversity are often called invasive species. (wikipedia.org)

Some broaden the term to include indigenous or "native" species that have colonized natural areas. (wikipedia.org)
I work on the management of native and introduced, wild and domestic species to achieve goals for controlling and eradicating disease in people and animals, for conserving biodiversity and for improving livelihoods. (exeter.ac.uk)
Live1
Many invasive species are destroying habitats where plants and animals naturally live. (wikipedia.org)
Damage1
Invasive species adversely affect habitats and bioregions, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage. (wikipedia.org)
