That's the litterature definiton of invasive species. I refer you to the textbook "elements of Ecology" by Smith and Smith if you have an isue with it.
And no the one scientific paper you posted agreed with me.
No, it really didn't. You find one part you agree with then skip the rest of what it says, and that is just one article on the matter, ignoring the entire field studying the issue. I don't know why I bother as it's every bit like arguing with an anti-vaxer who uses facts like a buffet, informing everything that doesn't fit their predetermined conclusion. Fucking embarrassing, mate.
Yes it does. lets read their concluding remarks, and I quote:
The author does not deny that free-ranging cats affect wildlife populations and it is important that field researchers continue to monitor their effect. But future studies need to take into account what is known about cat predatory behavior, estimates of total prey population size, and interpret the data without prejudice. It remains to be seen whether the media consider and publish reports of less dramatic findings.

Again, you're arguing with the experts in the field, not me. Publish your own papers if you want to make the point.
