Evolution in the works? Those damn catfish..

It is rather common in “my” industry that species that have special survival adaptations often have a distinct advantage over the general immediate environment around it, humans ofcourse being a prime example, others would be yes, Catfish surviving in drains, Cained Toads, allelopathic plants, also may seem to be damaging to that environment, from our human perspective anyways.
Nonetheless, it introduces a disruption into the system, causing the other components (biological;plants,animals,fungi,microbes, ect..) to either actively or passively resist changes.
The components will either survive or not. If they don’t try to change/adapt to the ecosystem disruptions, there is too much chance of self extinction.

I just wrote that damnit.

I fracking hate biology.
