Types of Invasive Species

Journey with Nature's supplemental information on the invasive specie Kudzu. A creeping, climbing invasive species that's making its way to Indiana. Learn more.

Invasive species often coexist with native species for an extended time, and gradually, the superior competitive ability of an invasive species becomes apparent as its population grows larger and denser and it adapts to its new location.

Tree-of-heaven's prolific seed production adds to its invasive potential Date: August 2, 2017 Source: Penn State Summary: Tree-of-heaven -- or Ailanthus -- is an invasive triple threat, according to a team of plant pathologists.

Rampant vegetative spread; Ability to out-compete native species; High cost to remove or control; An invasive plant infestation is like a slow-motion explosion, which left unchecked may severely alter a site's natural beauty and economic contributions. Management of invasive species can appear to be a complicated and unending task.

But among the thousands of plant species introduced to North America, approximately 10 percent display the aggressive growth tendencies of invasive species. Although the terms exotic, alien, and invasive are sometimes used interchangeably, not all exotic plants are invasive.

Invasive Species - (Anoplophora glabripennis) Watch List - Prohibited in Michigan The Asian longhorned beetle can attack and kill many tree species including poplar, willow, sycamore, and horse chestnut, but its favorite host are maple trees.

The Global Invasive Species Database contains invasive species information supplied by experts on biological invasion from around the world. Species range from micro-organisms and invertebrates to fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and plants. Text, images and maps give biological, ecological and geographical information. Eradication and control information and expert advice is also available.
