Invasive species

The Euwallacea was studied before, but observers were incorrect in identifying the species as the tea shot-hole borer (TSHB) E. fornaticus; but after further analysis, the species was renamed to the polyphagous shot-hole borer [4]. This newly named “polyphagous” shot hole borer—named polyphagous because of its ability to attack many different trees—has caused significant amounts of dieback and mortality of avocado trees [5]. As time passes, the PSHB infestation problem grows more urgent. The…

is not always a mutualistic between different plant species. Invasive plant species have been known to impact native species by altering the environment. The University Woods location was ideal for data collection. The different trails provided information on numerous invasive and native species aiding in the quasi-experiment/ observational study. An invasive species and a native species were selected to assist in accepting/ rejecting the hypothesis. The Privet (Ligustrum sp.) and the Spicebush…

Hypothesis originates from Elton’s conviction involving the heavy invasion of species imperfect systems. Biological Invasions, specifically invasive species are exotic species that cause environmental…

The sustainability of our planet highly relies on the range and dispersion of an organism. An organism's range is the area where the species lives during its life. There are many different organisms with many different ranges -- some are very limited because an organism has special, specific needs, and some can be very large because an organism has the ability to survive in many places or migrates during certain times of the year. The pattern of an organism's spacing in an area is called…

about if it’s an invasive species, the honey badgers habitat & niche, and its interspecific interactions. I will also be talking about biomes and the nutrient cycles. I believe that all of the subjects that i’m going to be talking about are very important for our earth. My favorite animal is the Honey Badger. The honey badger is not an invasive species, but it does get affected by other animals. Invasive species such as lions, hyaenas, and leopards are considered invasive species to the honey…

The Difference in Frogs Humans are all under the same general specification of Homo sapiens, but they are all different from height all the way to thoughts. The same goes for any other types of species with the same universal name. Each are disparate like frogs for example. The term frog is a synonym to its more specific name: Amphibians. Both of these names are umbrella terms for these animals. Yet, there are many different varieties of frogs such as the Turtle Frog and the Clawed Frog.…

Lionfish is type of marine fish. Lionfish is not endangered species that we should be concerned about. There are about 10 types of different species of lionfish. This invasive species can be found across the eastern coast of the United States. Lionfish prefer to live near coral reefs and in rock crevices. They are highly adaptable, and they have high reproduction rate, making their numbers in the wild large and stable. The Lionfish is actually native to the ranges of the Indo-Pacific (South…

fact that the earth as we know it has proceeded through 5 “waves” of mass extinctions, and is currently in the middle of yet another wave of mass extinction (the sixth). These “unnatural” occurrences have displayed shocking changes to the variety of species on the globe, hence the title: “The Sixth Extinction, An Unnatural History.” 2. What gave people the idea that organisms may have gone extinct because of catastrophes? The term extinction didn’t really exist until the early 1800s,…

snakeheads are really hurting the ecosystems of florida because they have no natural predators. The snakehead was introduced into the florida state. The snakehead was released by owners could not have them in captivity. The snakehead fish is carnivorous snake that attacks anything even if it's for fun. the snakehead has 29 different variations and all are aggressive . snakeheads are more aggressive when they have offspring . Snakehead has changed the ecosystem of florida. You can find the fish…

future. Without a doubt, the life of all the species on Earth depends on the peculiar sequence written in their DNA, which may me beneficial or detrimental, ultimately writing the story of a population. Genetic Diversity…
