is there an actual term for "native invasive species" as in native species that have reached a far higher population than the equilibrium would be under ecologically healthy conditions, due to lack of predators, comparatively stronger generalism, adaptation to urban or human-degraded environments, etc? ie canada goose, white-tailed deer, etc. a lot of material i found just calls them nuisance or pest animals but that is ridiculously unspecific and i also hear those terms used as umbrella terms including invasives like all the time, i want something specific
@fatehbaz
these also kind of suck for the same reasons (sometimes applied as umbrella term to invasive species) but have connotations a little more specific (but still usually would have "native" term included in the description to distinguish it):
"synanthropic species": among ecologists, for something like white-tailed deer and Canada goose that proliferates specifically because of human alteration stuff
"subsidized predator/herbivore": among ecologists, similar to "synanthropic," to describe a creature in "unnatural" density due to human contribution, like racoons in urban trash bins or seagulls at the park
"overabundant species" or "hyperabundant species": among ecologists, for something like a century of agricultural extraction has altered landscape, or when colonial nation-states eradicate gray wolf and then stuff's out of equilibrium and deer/elk exceed normal capacity
"native pest species": among assholes who work in "policy" or "resource management" and think like conquistadors, profiteers, or economists
