An introduced species is a species living away from its native region, an action often dictated by humans. The introduced species may also interfere with an existing food chain in an ecosystem. It may nearly eliminate one level, leaving the other levels in disarray. When these species interfere in this way, they are known as invasive. The night blooming jasmine here is known to be an invasive species in New Zealand, where it is treated as a weed.
