Hrm. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the discussion was about introducing an exogenous species to the ecosystem. On closer read, there was some talk about them being re-introduced early in the thread.

Well, I still stand behind my statement even though it might not apply in this instance. :D Reintroducing the species may not produce the expected result (Eating gray squirrels); They might provide that environmental pressure on the Red Squirrel that pushes them over the edge, obliterating them. It's impossible to say until you do it, unfortunately. :(

My understanding is that the last stands of the red squirrel pretty much overlaps with the one of the pine marten. Am I wrong in that assumption?
