This isn't going to come out as readable as the
original PDF file
(especially the tables), but it is an interesting
journal article that
just appeared showing that it is as yet unknown and
unproven whether
invasive species actually cause the extinction of
native species.

well, the biggest invasive species in the world (Homo

various parts of the world, such as the megafaunal
collapses in north america and madagascar, that
coincided with that species' arrival...
