Index of Subjects --f46d043bdf3ae7b5a404bbc5f218 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I think the definition that Lance forwarded has a common mistake in it (not Lance's, but the original): "defines invasive species as "... coming from other countries or regions and moving outside their native habitat". Too often I see the words "range" and "habitat" used interchangeably. However, if I'm correct, then the second part of the definition put forward is redundant. I will always look on House Sparrows and Dandelions and more as non-native species. The "individuals" which are here, are native, but that's not the issue; the species do not belong here. "Invasive" in my mind, refers to the intensity of the foreign species' occupation. Hungarian Partridge are not invasive here, though they still are alien; Japanese Bamboo is both.
