I confess I don't see the similarity with Brin's "Uplift" series either. A new colony world with a strange and deadly life-form... if I were to look for similar themes by other authors, I could mention Little Fuzzy by Piper and the prequel Anne MacCaffrey wrote to her "Dragonriders of Pern" series. There's one by Heinlein also-- is that Farmer in the Sky?
