Unlike the notable ideas (concerning the success of invasive non-indigenous organisms) that preceded it, such as the enemy release hypothesis (ERH) and Charles Darwin's Habituation Hypothesis, [2] the EICA hypothesis postulates that an invasive species is not as fit (in its introduced habitat) at its moment of introduction as it is at the time that it is considered invasive.
In a meta-analysis of 19 research studies involving 72 pairs of native and invasive plants, invasive exotic species did not incur less damage than their native counterparts and, in fact, exhibited lower relative growth rates. [23] In other cases, invasive success was due not to release from herbivory but greater tolerance of it. [24]
Where Do Camels Belong? is a book by biologist Ken Thompson. [1] [2] [3] [4]The book examines the science and history of invasive species.The book describes itself as "an examination of the whole question of native and alien species, and what might be called an alien invasions industry—and its implications".

A young cane toad. The cane toad in Australia is regarded as an exemplary case of an invasive species.Australia's relative isolation prior to European colonisation and the Industrial Revolution, both of which dramatically increased traffic and import of novel species, allowed development of a complex, interdepending system of ecology, but one which provided no natural predators for many of the ...
These are lists of invasive species by country or region. A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
Two children in the U.S. and 15 in the U.K. have died from strep A infection, a bacteria that normally causes mild disease but can be extremely dangerous.
The Invasive Species Compendium (ISC) is an online, open access reference work covering recognition, biology, distribution, impact, and management of invasive plants and animals produced by CAB International alongside an international consortium. [1] It comprises peer-reviewed datasheets, images, and maps, a bibliographic database, and full ...
