• Invasion Biology by Mark A Davis, OUP Oxford, 2009. Mark A Davis challenges the idea of "invasive species": “The field of Invasion Biology is in a period of rapid transition. (Loc 3788)… It is important that the public and incoming students to the field receive a balanced characterisation of invasions. By this I mean that positive as well as negative impacts of introduced species should be reported as well as the variety of factors that have been discovered to facilitate or inhibit invasions. (Loc 3795)… My advice to young ecologists is to be open to new ideas and not to follow accepted dogma with blind allegiance... More than 50 years ago, using almost identical terms, Egler (1951) warned colleagues of placidly accepting traditional dogmas. It is important to learn about current and dominant paradigms, but avoid marinating yourself in them. (Loc 3811) Scepticism is probably the most important attribute of a scientist.” (Loc 3818), 2009
