- Summary
- The title refers to the group of invasive species that has had much success around the world adapting and thriving in new environments. While some ecologists view invasive species as a threat to biodiversity, others believe they may simply be nature's way of restoring ecological vibrancy in the wake of human-mediated destruction. Are they the new face of the biosphere?
