Weedy species Totally Explained

Everything about Weedy Species totally explained

In ecology, a weedy species is a species that lives in a wide variety of ecologies, including unstable ones and those damaged by humans. It refers to both plants (not quite the same as the definition of a weed proper) and animals. A 'weedy' animal can subsist on a variety of foods, opportunistically, and has population dynamics that tend to prevent it from depending over-much on abundance. Very often, it thrives in environments that are so damaged by man as to be uninhabitable by other species. Examples of weedy species are:

dandelions
zebra mussels
lampreys
flies
rats
rabbits
raccoons
cockroaches
centipedes
mice
dogs
humans
scotch broom Weedy species often overrun the native species of ecoregions they're introduced to. For instance, rabbits rapidly displaced native marsupial species in Australia. Feral dogs often displace other species especially in Africa and Latin America (where people don't generally eat dogs, unlike Asia). Rats, mice and cockroaches often overwhelm urban areas.
