I have this odd kind of admiration for the truly terrible invasive species. "Invasives" turn all of the things that make human activities hostile to nature into their advantages. There is something delightfully subversive about it.

Although, I still study them in hopes of protecting the wild diversity that they can destroy. When you dig into some of the things they have done to be successful a little awe is only natural.

There's a book that touches on this: "Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution".

It advocates the idea of cities being new ecosystems, where cosmopolitan life forms make a home. Because a city while hostile to nature in some ways can also be a great host to it.
