What is Native (ecology)?
{{otheruses|||Native}} A [[species]] is called '''indigenous''' or '''native''' to a [[wikt:place|place]] when that species lives there because of the natural [[environment]], not [[human]] change. A species is an '''indigen''' if it lives in the wild and has not had [[artificial selection]] by humans. If a species is in a place because it was moved by humans, the species is not indigenous to that place. It is an [[introduced species]]. == Related pages == *[[Endemism]] {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Ecology]]
