i would just like to note that a pioneer species is not always a plant species. It can be a species of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, as well.

[edit] Merge

I've added a merge notice, preferably, each kingdom should get their own subheading as pioneer species.

[edit] names

What is another name for pioneer species?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.175.47.160 (talkcontribs) on 17 April 2006

A ruderal (added to see also) is a plant that lives in highly disturbed habitats. They may also be called early successional species (although that category is a little more inclusive). Richard001 (talk) 08:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
