[Taxacom] when is a common species critically endangered?

[Zack Murrell]

Mark,

I don't think this is a naive question.  Our speciocentricism leads us to
categorize things as crops, invasives, weeds, natives and non-natives. Species have been moving across the planet since life began, yet we view
Homo sapiens migrations, along with those co-migrating species, as something
different.  I suspect this leads to all sorts of twisted logic in how we
view conservation, migrations and distributions of species.
