RE: All Hail The Conquering King: The Unstoppable Earthworm
There is actually active resistance to the concept in places- I know of at least one book claiming invasive plant species are a good thing. It's absurd, but it's there.
whaat!! ack!
Well actually not that surprised.. I mean the whole cane toad debacle in Australia was instigated because it was initially successful in Puerto Rico - the cane bugs were introduced to take care of the beetles and it worked in that cirucumstance. I don't know what the state of Cane Toads are now there, though.
Regardless, it might work in one place, probably as a fluke, but one instance shouldn't be the reasoning for doing it everywhere. :/ oy vey
Every single ecosystem is unique, and a species that fits just fine in one locale might die out in another and take over in a third!
Indeed!!
