I thought that was obvious. By endemic, I mean autochthonamus, ie in the
area in which they evolved. During the course of that evolution, species
effect the environment. Political boundaries (Australia, Tasmania etc.) are
of total irrelevance. Also the question of original isn't always clear.
Evolution is a process, so original begs the question of when. The point I
was making is that Nigel wrote: "anything introduced has an effect on the
environment", so does any other species, during the course of its evolution.
