The "Enemy Release Hypothesis" (ERH) is a theoretical framework in ecology and biogeography that explains why certain species, particularly invasive species, can thrive in new environments where they have been introduced. The hypothesis posits that when a species is introduced to a new habitat, it often leaves behind its natural enemies, such as predators, parasites, and diseases, which can suppress its population in its native range.
