State

An invasive species is a non-native species that spreads aggressively and causes ecological or economic harm, often lacking predators or competitors that regulated it natively.

Show

A predator introduced to an island with no native predators can devastate prey that evolved no defense against it.

Watch for

A non-native species is not automatically invasive — "invasive" requires demonstrated spread and harm, not mere origin.
