Popis: Recently, Davis et al. [1] claimed that ‘“non-native” species have been vilified for…generally polluting “natural” environments’. They further assert that ‘a pervasive bias against alien species…has been embraced by the public, conservationists, land managers and policy-makers, as well as by scientists’. They postulate that eradication attempts are mostly a waste of time and money, that many introductions are ecologically beneficial and that the alarm raised about invasive organisms has been exacerbated by unsubstantiated nativism.
