[Nhcoll-l] Invasive Species - history question

[Tommy McElrath]

Mark, 
Check out Hoebeke’s paper here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229944346_Adventive_Non-Native_Insects_Importance_to_Science_and_Society <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229944346_Adventive_Non-Native_Insects_Importance_to_Science_and_Society>  that discusses the terminology we use such as “Adventive” and “Invasive”. I’ve used it as a reference when discussing newly adventive species. There may be more references in there that you can check out as well. 

Sincerely,
