Biological invasion is a process wherein certain organisms are introduced into a new ecosystem, where they did not exist previously. It may be a natural process or may be done deliberately. These organisms are called invasive species. They may have an adverse or positive impact on the native inhabitants and natural resources of the ecosystem they invade. Some common characteristic features of invasive species include rapid reproduction and gro...
