Course Description: Thousands of species of plants, animals, fungi, and microbes have been transported by humans to new locations. Yes, without human assistance, species have always managed to spread, but much less often, much more slowly, and not nearly so far. This geographic rearrangement of the earth's biota is one of the great global changes now underway. Although many introduced species fail to establish populations or remain restricted to the immediate vicinity of the new sites they land in, other species establish populations and invade new habitats, spreading widely and sometimes well beyond the initial point of introduction.
