Invasive species

What do you think an invasive species is? Well, invasive species are any living organism that causes harm to humans, the economy or the ecosystem. These species have similar traits which help to identify them, they have a : fast growth rate rapid reproduction high dispersal ability Invasive species are capable of causing more harm then you realise, they can completely wipe out native plants and animals to that area, forcing them to extinction. Invasive species can reduce biodiversity, they…

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…

Non-native invasive species have caused conservationists and ecologists to stew. In simpler terms a non-native species is a species that is an alien to an environment, but will not cause danger. Invasive species are species that causes harm. More specifically, a non-native invasive species are a particular type of species that are foreign to an environment and causes risk towards that particular environment. Non-native invasive species, invasive species and NNS will be used interchangeably.…

An invasive species is an organism that is not native and has negative effects on an economy, environment and health of an individual. Moreover, an invasive species can be a plant, animal or other organisms that might create negative impacts to the society. Furthermore, the definition can further be enumerated as a species that is non-native to the ecosystem under consideration and whose introduction creates results that are inefficient to those surrounding it. The impacts that are often created…

As an islanded nation Australia was comparatively free of invasive species that existed in other countries, until post-Colonial times increasing trade between Australia and foreign countries has caused an increase in the species entering the country. Invasive species are a threat to the environmental, social and economic health of Australia. Invasive feral animals such as pigs, goats, rabbits, cattle, buffalos, donkeys, camels and Horses cause degradation to natural habitats by selective or…

Many species of plants and animals may seem attractive, but looks can be deceiving. Various kinds of plants and animals are brought in each state intentionally or accidentally. They are introduced intentionally by people for specific purposes such as to serve as pets or to fulfill the responsibilities of native species. They could also be introduced accidentally, because of increasing trade, by ocean voyaging ships, or other means. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration…

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 species on native biodiversity are the…

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…

An invasive species is a species not native from a particular ecosystem that is most likely to cause harm to that species. An invasive species can be plants, animals, or even pathogens. A very remarkable invasive species is the European Rabbit, otherwise its scientific name known as the Oryctolagus cuniculus. The European Rabbit is near threatened and native to southwestern Europe and Northwest Africa. In the 19th century Australia introduced multiple invasive species all at once purposely. Ever…

relocation of organisms results in invasive species, yet, officially, invasive species are classified as any organism who poses a threat to the environment (Invasive Species). Consequences of invasive species include the destruction of ecosystems and the deterioration of the quality…
