Hi there,

         I must confess that I find it difficult to come to grips 
with the idea of earthworms as alien species.  I just don't know 
enough about these things.  I also agree with David Webster that the 
invasive species which causes me the most concern is closer to 
home.  So, in a related vein, I thought that many here might find 
this recent article interesting (although I know that I risk setting 
the cat among the plovers, as it were).

         I'm not sure how long this will be freely accessible on the 
website - perhaps only this week?

         Cheers,

         Patricia L. Chalmers

the Cat That Kills the Bird?

had been stalking piping plovers, he started the kind of war that 
only really concerned humans can wage...
