Abstract

To still claim that the problem of non-native species invasion is a false problem is undoubtedly considered an “apostasy.” Because, the harm by allochthonous species to me seems more like dogma than scientific evidence. The bulk of the scientific community is, in fact, bent on combating the invasion of alien species, studying ways to prevent their arrival and spread and to counteract the damage to native communities.
