Colonisation applies to all life forms in a sense though it is most often used in reference to insects and humans.
Human colonisation is not to be confused with colonialism or imperialism, as colonisation is a broader category, encompassing all large-scale immigrations of an established population to a 'new' location, and expansion of their civilisation into this area.
