Hypothesis: The hypothesis being tested was that changes in anti-predatory behavior in captivity could explain the higher invasiveness of wild-caught exotic birds compared to captive-bred exotic birds. Summary: Invasive species are costly to ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as costly economically to remove or control. Identifying exotic species that have a high potential to become invasive is a preventative measure to control such events. One such identifying tool is anti-predatory…

Zoos exist for one main reason, conservation, but does locking animals up actually help a species survive? When zoos keep animals captive, they often become depressed, not successful in conservation and exposed to harsh habitat conditions. Animals experience unfair and cruel lives while humans use the excuse of protection to keep them captive.Therefore, I take the position that keeping animals captive is a cruel thing. Animals in captivity are often depressed, lonely, and aggressive due to human…

Both invasive species present a danger because they overtake the habitat of other plant life. The Rosarypea can grow over small trees and shrubs, and its roots can grow very deeply onto the ground and are very difficult to remove. The Earleaf acacia is more common in disturbed areas. It has also invaded pinelands, scrub, and hammocks and can displace native vegetation and shade out native plants. It is adapted to nutrient-poor soils in humid tropics and is fire adapted. According to our textbook…

3 Ways To Boost Furnace Effectiveness When the warm air inside your house leaks out quickly, your furnace will have to work harder than normal to keep your home warm. Having walls, ceilings, and floors that are properly insulated will go a long way with keeping the hot air in, but they are not enough. Windows are one area where air tends to leak out the most, and if you ignore them, your furnace won’t be operating at optimal efficiency. Double-Pane Windows If your home is older and still has…

In Edward O. Wilson’s newest book Half Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life, he argues that if we conserve half of the earth’s land and water for nature, we are likely to save 90% of the remaining life on the planet. At Wildlands Network, we have long advocated for essentially the same vision for the biodiversity of North America, long before Dr. Wilson so eloquently put it into words at the global scale. We’re putting these ideas into practice with the formation of our Eastern Wildway Network,…
