  Thanks. I'm somewhat skeptical of the "invasive biology" scare too and would like to collect literature on the subject. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy every book on the subject ("buy used: $336.82", whats up with that?), but I did find a book review which gave a good summary I think: https://www.publish.csiro.au/pc/pdf/PC040070 https://www.publish.csiro.au/pc/pdf/PC040070 He does seem to take an extreme position, but it is sometimes beneficial to take in an extreme counterpoint in order to find the reasonable "middle" ground.

  I research about sources (both publications and authors) to see what credence I should lend them. The little I could find out about this book was a review at [0] that concludes with "I would not recommend this book to those beginning a study of Invasion Biology. It is a polemic presumably aimed at the practitioners of what the author holds is a pseudoscience, and perhaps also at policy‐makers." Make of that what you will.
