“To me, this suggests that our thinking around 'invasive species' needs to be fine-tuned. Instead of a paradigm where we see all 'foreign' species as malevolent invaders that should be considered threats to ecological integrity unless proven otherwise, maybe we should instead see islands species as particularly vulnerable to newly arriving species.

These ranges are pegged to an arbitrary point in time, a moment in the long evolutionary and geographical journey of a particular lineage.”
