Naturalisation (or naturalization) is the ecological phenomenon through which a species, taxon, or population of exotic (as opposed to native) origin integrates into a given ecosystem, becoming capable of reproducing and growing in it, and proceeds to disseminate spontaneously. [1]

By examining the genes of bacteria , scientists are able to reconstruct what the organisms ' environments are like today, or even from millions of years ago.
