Genetic pollution

There are many people who own and force animals like reptiles, birds, and other exotic animals, to live in unnatural homes. If someone acquires an exotic animal for entertainment, it often means he will neglect to know how to properly take care of the animal. Generally, when someone rescues an extoic animal they mean well, but they are actually taking it away from an environment that they have grown accustomed to and generally belong in, and need to let rescue organizations handle and care for…

For thousands of years around the world different species of animals or plants have been either transported intentionally, or through the process of globalization. In many cases, the transported animal or plant does not thrive in its new environment. Due to a lack of proper food sources combined with the wrong climate can result in a rather short life span for said animal or plant. Unfortunately, in some cases, the specimen thrives and is able to successfully reproduce and spread throughout its…

Kelly seweyn Per;5 Is the Norway Rat an Invasive species that is what we going to be learning about in this paper including other non-invasive and invasive species but first we need to know what they are so you can talk away your best view from this paper. A invasive species have few natural predators, have high reproduction rates, are long lived, are pioneer species (meaning they were brought here from other places ) , They are generalists, they kill native species, produce abundant…

Introduction Acacia Decurrens is an Australian tree commonly known as black wattle. Like many Australian acacias, it has been introduced to other parts of the world. In South Africa, it listed as Declared Invasive (South African Department of Environmental Affairs, 2016), along with several other species of acacia, due to negative impacts on native flora (Henderson, 1989). This negative impart comes largely the ability of acacia species to germination prolifically and rapidly under conditions…

When you see dextrose, soy lecithin, or high fructose corn syrup on a package of non-organic food, the food probably contains GMOs. GMOs are genetically modified organisms whose genes have been altered by some techniques of genetic engineering so, then the DNA contains one or more genes that are not normally found there from the beginning. When they are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from a bacteria, virus, insect,…

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…

Abundance of False Brome invasion in relation to distance from Oak Creek Apachino Villarreal Introduction Invasive species have been introduced to many ecosystems and can have detrimental effects due to their dominance and ability to spread easily. When an invasive species is introduced to a new ecosystem, it begins spreading and outcompeting the smaller species and creating a new type of vegetation that is not beneficial to the community. An introduced species can spread differently based on…

The Exotic Animal Trade Have you ever thought of what it would be like to own a tiger or a lion? At five years old the thought of owning an exotic pet seemed very appealing. However as I grew older and more mature the reality of the situation and the idea does not seem like a dream anymore. When most families decide to buy a family pet they generally look for a fancy goldfish, a cute puppy, or even an energetic bunny, not a dangerous exotic animal. Exotic pets can be defined as an animal not…

The six factors summarized by HIPPCO include habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation; invasive species; population growth and increasing use of resources; pollution; climate change; and overexploitation. All these factors summarized by HIPPCO may be applied to whales to describe how their populations have been affected and will be affected in the future. Quite simply, the whale populations have been decimated by human activity and environmental catastrophes that have ultimately…

Carrie, carrying a bucket of meat, walked to the fifteen foot high fence that separates her and her tiger. She then proceeded to open the fence and walk in. Carrie went over to the silver dish that was in the corner of the fenced in land and placed thirty-six pounds of meat in the dish. The tiger smelling the food, rushed over and devoured the food ,while carrie stood and watched. Carrie then turned her back to the large feline and began walking to the fence gate, not seeing that the tiger was…
