Early vascular plants, collectively known as rhyniophytes, first appeared in the late Early Silurian and diversified considerably through the Late Silurian.rthropods are the most diverse group of animals on Earth and include insects, crustaceans, arachnids, myriapods, and onychophorans as well as extinct forms like trilobites. eurypterid. Any member of an extinct order (Eurypterida) of mostly aquatic, scorpion-like arthropods that were common in the early Paleozoic.
They are most threatening in ecosystems such as wetlands, sand dunes, fire prone areas, and serpentine barrens where rare native plants are found. Invasive plant species thrive where the continuity of a natural ecosystem is breached and are abundant on disturbed sites like construction areas and road cuts. naturally aggressive plant may be especially invasive when it is introduced to a new habitat. An invasive species that colonizes a new area may gain an ecological edge since the insects, diseases, and foraging animals that naturally keep its growth in check in its native range are not present in its new habitat.
