Abstract
Wildlife and plants have been introduced outside of their native range for a variety of reasons, including: accident, nostalgia, aesthetics, companionship, food, recreation, protection, clothing, biotic enhancement, pest control, and utility. Although not all introductions have resulted in established populations or have had negative impacts, some species’ introductions have resulted in established populations and have had impacts on native ecosystems and human activities. Native wildlife species often suffer as a consequence of their encounters with invasive species. Consequences may include: direct competition for resources, displacement from native habitat, exposure to exotic diseases, predation, and general habitat degradation.
