Invasive vs Non-native Species
 Invasive= an organism (plant, animal, fungus, or
bacterium) that is not native and has negative effects
on our economy, our environment, or our health.
 Not all introduced species are invasive.
 Invasive plants and animals are the second greatest
threat to biodiversity after habitat loss
 Non-native= an organism that is from another
continent, country, or area of the world
What makes a species invasive:
1.
They tolerate a variety of habitat conditions
2. They grow and reproduce rapidly
3. They compete aggressively for resources (like food,
water, and nesting sites)
4. They lack natural enemies or pests in the new
ecosystem
