Is there an animal equivalent to “archaeophyte”?
The usage of 'neophyte' and 'archaeophyte' to distinguish from true 'native' has now been widely established in botanical circles. However, animals can also fall into these categories, for instance (using these terms) an animal could be a native to the UK (e.g. Blackbird ), an ancient introduction (or 'archaeophyte', e.g. Rabbit ) or a recently introduced species (or 'neophyte', e.g. Grey Squirrel ). As '-phyte' is the plant version, what should be the animal version '-zoion'? If that were the case, should we be talking, therefore, about 'archaeozoions', 'neozoions' and 'natives' in the same way we discuss the plant equivalents?
