Genetic pollution

Invasive plant species pose a tremendous threat to natural resources throughout the United States. Invasive species can choke out acres of native vegetation and greatly reduce wildlife habitat. Invasive plant species threaten every aspect of ecosystem health and productivity on public and private lands, threaten biological diversity by causing population declines of native species, and alter key ecosystem processes like hydrology, nitrogen fixation, and fire regimes. Preventing, managing, and…

Invasive species are easily comparable to the explorers of the old days. Explorers could be helpful by introducing new supplies, like horses, during the big Columbian Exchange. Explorers could also be largely negative, bringing disease and slavery into the nations they conquered. Explorers sometimes just set up trade relations and left well enough alone. Much like these explorers, invasive species have the propensity to help, hurt, or assimilate into their new surroundings. Experts on invasive…

A wasp nest on a property is an unwelcome sight for residents and business owners, especially if the location of the nest is close to where people move about.

The Bubonic plague, one of the world’s worst epidemics was the result of a species of rat boarding a cargo ship from Asia to Europe. This rat carried diseases that eventually wiped out a third of Europe. That species of rat could be considered an invasive species. An invasive species is a species that is not native to a specific habitat, and whose introduction can cause environmental harm or harm to another population. Some of the most significant negative effects of invasive nonindigenous…

're very [loving], just like a puppy," but then they grow up, yet wild animal, they can become dangerous, which is why people are debating whether owning wild pets should be banned. These can also endanger the alluring creatures by changing their genetics regions. These animals will become house pets and lose their sense of survival, until one day when this sense is evoked from within the physical being and all of a sudden the beast becomes a threatening…

When people think of a household pet domestic animals such as dogs, cats, and fish come to mind. A domestic animal is an animal of a species that has been domesticated by humans so that they depend on humankind for survival. As time progresses and the years go by, more and more people are captivating exotic animals and are trying to domesticate them. Humans are taking wild animals from their natural habitats and are attempting to make them docile creatures for everyday living. Entities want to…

Invasive Species An invasive species is one that is not native to a particular ecosystem and that does or is likely to cause harm to the environment and/or the economy (Exotic Species in Illinois). For example, a Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora). This rose, also known as the baby rose, it is native to eastern Asia, and was introduced to the U.S. in the late 1700’s. The baby rose impacts an environment, by forming dense thickets that invade pastures, and crowd native species (Plants). Invasive…

Improved detection of an alien invasive species through environmental DNA barcoding: The example of the American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus. Journal of Applied Ecology, 49, 953­959. doi:10.1111/j.1365­2664.2012.02171.x In this research work authors suggests that It is more easy to destroy the Alien Invasive Species(AIS) at their very initial stage. They supported that now it is…

Control Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Genetic engineering can: cure inherited diseases, modify plants so that they may fight pollution and make bigger/faster growing fruits and vegetables, make cats to glow in the dark, and cows that pass less gas. There are both pros and cons to genetic engineering. With that being said, society wants to know should it be controlled by law. In…

genetically modified foods are being added to the food supply without the knowledge of American consumers. The effects of these genetic modifications have been revealed to be “flawed” and potentially dangerous to consumers (Mercola). Mercola illustrates the large gray area that exists in the food industry, especially with GMOs and the few restrictions…
