Although it is a natural effect, climate change has a significant impact on invasive species and has many variables that make it eligible to fall into a category of its own. The five main potential consequences of climate change affecting invasive species are alteration of transport and introduction, climate constraints, distribution of existing invasive species, impact of existing invasive species, and effectiveness of management strategies (Hellmann et al., 2008). Each consequence is not the only one that can occur. Many consequences can arise from climate change. The species have the ability to attach to human transport ships and spread. If weather conditions affect travel, this would impact the spread of species. Sometimes the introduction can also happen with intention. In any case, the impact of transportation can influence the movement of invasive species. Climate change could affect invasive species by increasing or decreasing their ability to establish themselves, or by driving away native species by increasing their competitiveness. Climate change can impact the distribution of invasive species by influencing their spread into new areas. The impact on current species after climate change is the typical concept of how species invade and destroy ecosystems in many aspects. Each of these consequences can be beneficial for planning management solutions. This provides strength to the conservation management concept and broad support for each of the consequences. Unfortunately, because there is a mix of variables, the concepts still require further investigation before management plans or anything else can be derived. Over time, some variables may be more tightly controlled to allow for narrower results. Many studies suggest...... half of paper ......n following the eradication of invasive mammals.
