Alien
Species introduced by man into places out of their natural range of distribution
Native - Endemic
Species that is native and endemic to a country or sea area i.e. a species that is unique to a location or habitat
Invasive
Species that are known to be invasive- those species in whose cases evidence of impact has been recorded or which is spreading aggressively
Of concern
Species that are demonstrating aggressive spread and there is concern about its spread OR species where some concern has been recorded- this may be due to known records of its invasiveness and impacts in other areas of their known introduced range
Uncertain
Species whose invasiveness is uncertain
Not specified
A species whose 'invasiveness' has not been specified in its introduced range. The species is known to be present and has been reported but there is no comment on its invasiveness
Established and expanding
Species that have become established in their introduced range and are known to be increasing in abundance and expanding their range
Established
Species that have become established in their introduced range
Reported
Species that are 'reported' to be present but with no further information
