Colonisation or colonization is the spread and development of an organism in a new locality or habitat. Colonization comprises the physical arrival of a species in a new area, but also its successful establishment within the local community. In ecology, it is represented by the symbol λ to denote the long-term intrinsic growth rate of a population.
