Fallen vicar ping.
But but but...without the Devonian extinctions, archosaurs wouldn't have developed. Save the dinosaurs!!

“Invasive Species Stop New Life”
They’re called liberals.
One more reason to seal the border with Mexico
H1-Bs, "diversity," and "outsourcing" have stymied a LOT of the creative, "can-do" mindset of the U.S.
Our businesses are concentrating on stealing mindshare rather than on creating fundamentally new opportunities.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Around here the best example of an invasive species changing things is purple loosestrife. It crowds out the cattails and there are a lot fewer redwing blackbirds around as a result. The plant also clogs waterways and affects things that way as well.
The birds aren’t on the edge of extinction or anything but the numbers have definitely fallen since I was a kid.
“Invasive Species Stop New Life”
They are called muslims.
“The study of the collapse of Earth’s marine life 378 to 375 million years ago suggests that the planet’s current ecosystems, which are struggling with biodiversity loss...”
Based on what? Compared to what?
“In addition, the modern extinction rate exceeds the rate of ancient extinction events, including the event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.”
You mean the “ancient extinction events” about which there’s no agreement as to what they even were (asteroid impact, communicable disease, etc.)? Since extinction rates are determined over milleninia, how is it possible to accurately compare “modern extinction rates” to the rate of “ancient extinction events” (for which only partial, questionable evidence exists)?
More “scientific” blather by “scientists” shooting in the dark, hoping to hit a grant-money pinata.
What the f*** is biodiversity loss? Do these left wing dipsh**s ever speak in a language that anyone can understand?
The study of the collapse of Earth's marine life 378 to 375 million years ago suggests that the planet's current ecosystems, which are struggling with biodiversity loss, could meet a similar fate.Thanks decimon. See, it's the fault of humans! IOW, no, I'm not buying into this. At least two of the global mass extinctions coincide with iridium layers from ET sources, and the AGW crowd (as well as the unreconstructed Darwinist teadrinkers) are forced to claim that the hard data is just a coinky-dinky. They're not doing science.

Kudzu and coyotes!
The EPA is an invasive species.
“The entire marine exosystem suffered a major collapse. Reef-forming corals were decimated.”
For this to happen I think that there must have been significant changes in water temperature, chemistry and oxygen content. The invasive species would then have multiplied and moved in on areas where less adaptable organisms died out. My guess is a large boloid event.
After the great dying of the Permian extinction event, Lystrosaurus, a piglike reptilian, was so abundant in South Africa “palaeontologists cry with frustration when they find another Lystrosaurus skull.” “it dominated the whole world for a short time...also from South America, Antarctica, India, China, Russia” [from “When Life Nearly Died: The Greatest Mass Extinction of all Time”, Michael J. Benton, 2003]
That's because presently there are idiots that claim something is a new species at the drop of a hat. A species whose total population is one, has a very dim future.
