Characteristics of Successful Invader Species
Characteristics of Ecosystems Vulnerable to
Invader Species

• High reproductive rate, short generation time
  (r-selected species)
• Pioneer species
• Long lived
• High dispersal rate
• Release growth- inhibiting chemicals into soil
• Generalists
• High genetic variability

• Similar climate to habitat of invader
• Absence of predators on invading species
• Early successional systems
• Low diversity of native species
• Absence of fire
• Disturbed by human activities

What Can You Do?
Protecting Species

• Do not buy furs, ivory products, and other
  materials made from endangered or threatened
  animal species.
• Do not buy wood and paper products produced by
  cutting remaining old-growth forests in the
  tropics.
• Do not buy birds, snakes, turtles, tropical fish,
  and other animals that are taken from the wild.
• Do not buy orchids, cacti, and other plants that
  are taken from the wild.
