Re: [ECOLOG-L] Ecosystem function Re: [ECOLOG-L] Invasion, or progression?

things just are out of our control (pun intended). I mean, is it really possible to stop a species from naturally dispersing? How about 100 species? For how long and at what cost?   Astrid Caldas, Ph.D. Climate Change and Wildlife Science Fellow  Defenders of Wildlife  1130 17th Street N.W
