I know nobody cares for this thread anymore but look at this! The more studies I read the more I realize everything can be questioned. We has internet info consumers should take everything with a grain of salt. Here is a snippet-
The link between species invasions and the extinction of natives is widely accepted by scientists as well as conservationists, but available data supporting invasion as a cause of extinctions are, in many cases, anecdotal, speculative and based upon limited observation. We pose the question, are aliens generally responsible for widespread extinctions? Our goal is to prompt a more critical synthesis and evaluation of the available data, and to suggest ways to take a more scientific, evidence-based approach to understanding the impact of invasive species on extinctions. Greater clarity in our understanding of these patterns will help us to focus on the most effective ways to reduce or mitigate extinction threats from invasive species.

Sorry, I don't have time to catch up on everything right now, but this just popped out at me. These links are appropriate and more recent:

I have the letter written by Davis & associates as published in Nature. If you would like the article (rather than have to buy it), just PM me. I think I can attach it via PM.
