Invasive species ecology is a research area that focuses on the study of non-native species that have been introduced to an ecosystem and have a negative impact on the native species and the environment. Researchers in this field aim to understand the biology, distribution, interactions, and management of invasive species in order to prevent or mitigate their negative effects on the ecosystem. This research area often involves studying the mechanisms of invasion, the ecological impacts of invasive species, and developing strategies for their control or eradication. Invasive species ecology plays a crucial role in conservation efforts and ecosystem management.
