American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) invasion in California
Invasive species have far-reaching ecological and economic impacts. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has spread globally through anthropogenic activity and has been named one of the world's worst invasive species. Bullfrogs have especially impacted native amphibians in California through predation, competition, and disease. Bullfrogs are

ECOLOGICAL RELEASE OF AN EXOTIC SPECIES UPON SUPPRESSION OF ITS INVASIVE PREDATOR: A FIVE-YEAR CASE STUDY, WITH NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES, AND THE LIFE HISTORY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN GECKO, HEMIDACTYLUS TURCICUS [PDF]
Ecological release allows a species to expand beyond its currently occupied niche upon removal of a limiting mechanism such as a predator or competitor. Unfortunately, these interactions between exotic and invasive organisms are relatively unknown.
