Is it true that invasive species caused the dodo's extinction?
Partly. One global meta-analysis indicates invasive predators have contributed to many bird extinctions, but it does not name the dodo. A textbook passage instead attributes the dodo's extinction to hunting by sailors, not to invasive species.
