Bird and mammal diversity is declining with biological invasions

[ScienceDaily]

The introduction of invasive species leads to a decline in certain native species: a team of researchers has managed to show that 11% of the global phylogenetic diversity of birds and mammals, in other words their accumulated evolutionary history, is threatened by biological invasions. Their ability to adapt to environmental changes could thus be largely lost due to biological invasions.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/birds/~4/dcHbd7TGA3U
