Description: The term ‘Invasive Hybrid’ refers to a hybrid species that, by combining characteristics from two or more parent species, can spread aggressively and alter local ecosystems. These hybrid species often possess competitive advantages that allow them to quickly adapt to new environments, facilitating their colonization of areas where native species may struggle to thrive. The characteristics that define an invasive hybrid include a high reproduction rate, disease resistance, and a remarkable ability to survive in adverse conditions. This combination of traits can lead to a decline in biodiversity, as invasive hybrids may displace native species, altering ecological dynamics and affecting biological communities. Concern over invasive hybrids has grown in recent decades, as their impact on ecosystems can be devastating, affecting not only local flora and fauna but also human health and economies. Therefore, the identification and management of these species has become a priority for ecologists and conservationists, who seek to mitigate their effects and protect existing biodiversity.
