Summary Introduction
Introduction:
When a species is moved to a new location by humans, then such species are termed as the introduced species. These species are moved to different locations for various benefits and by different ways of transport. Sometimes, introduced species become invasive species. Invasive species are those species that spread in an area rapidly and affect the native species.
