Definitions
- Native (indigenous):
-
Taxa (species, subspecies, etc.) whose presence in a given area occurs naturally, within its native range, and its presence is not a result of human intervention.
- Endemic:
-
Native taxa that is restricted to a certain place (e.g., it may be endemic from a small island, a country, or even a continent).
- Alien (exotic, non-native, non-indigenous):
-
Taxa (species, subspecies, etc.) whose presence in a given area is due to introduction, intentional, or accidental, as a result of human activity.
- Invasive (environmental weed):
-
Subset of alien taxa that after being naturalized produces reproductive offspring, often in very large numbers, at considerable distances from parent individuals/ populations and thus have the potential to spread over a considerable area, frequently adversely affecting native biodiversity and/ or ecosystems functioning.
- Weed:
-
Native or exotic taxa that produce reproductive offspring in areas not desired by man, impacting the ecosystem...
