When living things cross into new territory, they are often viewed as threats. But science writer Sonia Shah, who has written a new book — ‘The Next Great Migration’ — says the “invaders” are just following biology. Shah talks about the migration of people, animals and plants (especially due to climate change), and our misconceptions about “belonging.”

I’ve been interested in invasive species and the politics of the scientists who designate them as such. It’s not as simple as you might think to determine if something is or is not an invasive species.
