WHAT DOES ADVENTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

adventive

Adventive species

Adventive species is a term relating to species that have arrived in a new locality. They may have had help from humans as introduced species or they may not. The term is now used by some writers in a more restricted sense than its initial usage. The earliest and most widespread concept among biologists is: An adventive species is one that has arrived in a specific geographic area from a different region. This is a the forerunner of the term 'non-indigenous species' although it lacks the frequently invoked basis of the word 'introduced', which means different things to different writers. In this sense, cattle egret which arrived in North America by natural range expansion, black rat, which is believed to have arrived as a hitchhiker aboard ships, and kudzu vine, which was introduced deliberately by humans, are all adventive species and have established populations. Common adventive species include herbivorous insects. The later and more limited concept is that: An adventive species is one that has arrived in a specific geographic area from a different region; however, its population is not self-sustaining.
