Alien
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species introduced by man into places out of their natural range of distribution

Uncertain
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species whose invasiveness is uncertain

Invasive
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species that are known to be invasive- those species in whose cases evidence of impact has been recorded or which is spreading aggressively

Not specified
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: 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

Of concern
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: 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

Reported
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species that are 'reported' to be present but with no further information

Established
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species that have become established in their introduced range

Established and expanding
type: Concept
type: Origin
definition: Species that have become established in their introduced range and are known to be increasing in abundance and expanding their range
