When an animal or a plant species, unknown in a country, gets introduced, it is termed an exotic species often characterized by its prolific breeding, in the absence of any biotic natural enemies. Frequently, such introduced species end up as a pest/weed. These then become invasive alien species (IAS), threatening the economy.

Abstract


When an animal or a plant species, unknown in a country, gets introduced, it is termed an exotic species often characterized by its prolific breeding, in the absence of any biotic natural enemies. Frequently, such introduced species end up as a pest/weed. These then become invasive alien species (IAS), threatening the economy.
