Invasive exotic species fragment native eco-systems, displace native plants and animals, and alter ecosystem function. Invasive spe-cies are second only to habitat loss as threats to global biodiversity (Scott and Wilcove 1998) and represent one of the most serious threats to natural ecosystem integrity (NRC 2002).
