The Invasive Species Profiles List is a overview of all invasive species profiles included on our Web site with primary common and scientific names, and is searchable. If you prefer to view our profiles by species type and habitat, see our main Species Profiles page.
An invasive species can be any kind of living organism—an amphibian (like the cane toad), plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, or even an organism’s seeds or eggs—that is not native to an ecosystem and causes harm. They can harm the environment, the economy, or even human health.
The gateway to invasive species information; covering federal, state, local, and international sources. Invasive species are plants, animals, or pathogens that are non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration, and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause harm.
Invasive species can lead to the extinction of native plants and animals, destroy biodiversity, and permanently alter habitats. See our impacts section to learn more about the various impacts of invasive species -- economic and social, environmental and ecological, and human health.
An invasive species is an introduced species that harms its new environment. [2] Invasive species adversely affect habitats and bioregions, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage.
Invasive species are non-native plants, animals and other living organisms that thrive in areas where they don’t naturally live and cause (or are likely to cause) economic or environmental harm, or harm to human, animal or plant health.
An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous, or native, to a particular area. Invasive species can cause great economic and environmental harm to the new area.

Invasive species has a specific definition: A non-native species that causes harm to the environment, economy, or human, animal, or plant health (Executive Order 13751). It is often thought that the terms 'invasive' and 'non-native' can be used interchangeably, but this is not always the case.
Invasive species, any nonnative species that significantly modifies or disrupts the ecosystems it colonizes. Human activities are considered to be the most common ways invasive organisms are transported to new habitats.
