Subject: [NatureNS] Alien species and the problems they cause
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

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