Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Alabama Academy of Science, Vol. 31: July, 1959 For the most part, the introduction of exotics failed and the ecological balance was only briefly disrupted. However in some cases the imported forms have found the environmental resistance of the new area much than less in the original habitat and their num bers skyrocket. The rabbits of Australia, the starling and English sparrow of America are all examples of successful importations. Man has now begun to realize that introduction of exotics should be attempted only by competent authorities after very serious study of the ecological factors involved.
