Abstract
Jozef Keulartz and others have pointed out for quite some time that metaphors are not only important cognitive tools for making sense during the intervention into the ecological world around us, but are also important discursive tools that enable communication and negotiation with other ecological practitioners. For Keulartz (2007, p. 27), metaphors are indeed ‘diplomatic devices that facilitate interaction between different disciplines and discourses.’ Keulartz and Van der Weele’s chapter yet again perfectly summarizes various debates within invasion biology and suggests more of a continuum between the two extremes the authors call nativism and cosmopolitanism.
