Eurytopicity

/ˌjuːrɪtoʊˈpɪsɪti/ noun

Etymology

From eurytopic + -ity suffix; Greek eu- (well) + topos (place) + Latin -itas (state/quality).

Kelly Says

Eurytopicity is why certain species become invasive species—their flexibility to adapt to new climates and food sources makes them nearly impossible to control once introduced.
