Species

some species to near extinction, to the point of helplessness. But even the people that brought destruction and tragedy upon these animals can save them from the neverending darkness of the grave. The human race needs to help rescue endangered species of animals because the laws that have been passed to help endangered species of animals do not work, there are still endangered species. After all, they beat them down, might as well help them back up.…

Keystone Species Keystone species is a species that is very impactful within its ecosystem. A keystone species can be a plant or an animal that has a very specific job ecologically. If there were no keystone species, our world would be a completely different place, or maybe would not exist. All species depend on each other, but the benefits of keystone species are much greater than any other species. If a keystone species would disappear, it would start a chain reaction and a lot of other…

or different human-caused factors (Endangered Species Act). Subspecies and clear population segments are given protection if it is proven that the organisms are crucial to an ecosystem (Matsumoto). The law requires that the listing of a species is based solely on biological status. It is illegal to list or delist an organism when there is insufficient scientific data to support the conclusion. It usually takes less than a year to add or remove a species from one of the lists. During an…

Invasive species is defined as a non-native organism that has negative impacts on the environment, the well being of surrounding species (including humans), and the economy. For an organism to become invasive it must first be an introduced non-native species, then an established species, and then it must thrive and reproduce to be considered invasive. Only about ten percent of all the species move from one group to the next and finally become invasive. In the end, very few species can be…

Why is It Important to Preserve Endangered Species? Individual Research Project Global Perpectives Over time the amount of endangered species on the planet has increased. An endangered species is a species that exists in very small numbers and is at risk of extinction. Animals are affected when humans damage and pollute the environment – their homes can be destroyed and Why do animals become endangered? There are many reasons why animals become endangered. There are both natural causes and…

In the United States to the southeast inhabits an alien species destroying and deadly to the environment. This invasive species is known as the kudzu plant and according to the U.S Fish and Wildlife service there are approximately 50,000 invasive species in the U.S, some causing more damage than others. Invasive species are species that come in contact with an area that they are not native too and can drive out animals. Some invasive species have even caused extinctions of native animals and…

traveling on our well engineered vessels. Invasive species can travel just as easily in the cracks and crannies of even the best built vessels. The Coqui frogs native to Puerto Rico announced their arrival to the big island of Hawaii extremely loudly and are now threating to take route in Los Angeles as well; these frogs made their way to the US as tiny eggs through a seemingly harmless plant nursery trade and are not going away (Goldman 2015). Invasive species are often brought in and go…

Endangered Species Imagine the world where species are dying because they couldn’t find food because there food is extinct. The world would turn into chaos just because of one species. So if the government could save that one endangered species then we could stop the world from going into chaos. Endangered species have a huge impact on the world and if they go extinct it can mess up everything. “Endangered species does not just refer to wildlife but rather any living organism whether in the air…

Introduction Southwest Florida's ecosystem consists of warm temperate waters and a subtropical climate that attracts the majority of the generalist species. Generalist species are species that can adapt to a variety of locations without needing certain foods to eat or certain climates to survive in. Attracting generalist species that do not belong a part of Southwest Florida's ecosystem concludes in an unbalanced environmental system. My interest in this topic was the certitude that if we…

Invasive Species are plants, animals, or pathogens that are non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause harm. Some of the characteristics are to tolerate a variety of habitat conditions, they grow and reproduce rapidly, and they lack natural enemies or pests in the new ecosystem. Some of the environmental impacts of invasive species are the extinction of local species, irreparable changes to the habitat, biodiversity of invaded ecosystems, and…
