Invasive earthworms have caused a decrease in diversity, seedling populations, forest floor organic matter volume, and overall habitat quality. In addition, there is often an increase in invasive species and a decreased diversity of non-plant organisms. Some species that provide important biological niches to the ecosystem may be eradicated.
The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...
The North American Invasive Species Network (NAISN) is an American non-profit organization formed in 2010 by a group of government scientists and universities in North America.

Didymosphenia geminata, commonly known as didymo or rock snot, is a species of diatom that produces nuisance growths in freshwater rivers and streams with consistently cold water temperatures and low nutrient levels. [1] It is native to the northern hemisphere, and considered an invasive species in Australia, Argentina, [2] New Zealand, [3] and ...
This species arose in England as an allotetraploid of two wild species and was introduced intentionally, to control erosion on the coasts of North America. It now flourishes spreading across the mudflats of the Pacific coast changing them into salt marshes , which has tremendous effects on the fauna of the mudflats such as clams, worms, and ...
