Over the last century, as much of the Everglades was drained, the bird's population declined precipitously. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic snail. It's a rare case of an invasive species having a positive impact. https://www.npr.org/2023/03/14...
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
Very good post, I never thought that an invasive species could end up being so beneficial. But hey, it must be a one in a million case when it comes to invasive species.
Name: Sally central Maryland (Zone 7b) See you in the funny papers!
I dont think it 'must' be one in a million. Nature sometimes adapts, but good news like that gets little press.
Invasives as a whole, Certainly a very debatable topic https://www.ecosystemgardening...
