Species

What is the Endangered Species Act? Why was the Endangered Species Act created? Why do we care for endangered species? The Endangered Species Act was made so that our native plants, animals, and fish would not go into extinction. This Act requires that Federal and State agencies provide suitable conditions for endangered and threatened species, not to jeopardize from federal activities but to protect and save our native species from extinction. Throughout history there have been many events to…

When looking at the data provided, the trends of native-species increase in the restored area and the abundance of exotic species seen in the degraded areas provides an idea of how effective the restoration efforts where at restoring them to the reference site. To begin, the data provided in table 5 gives an idea of the distribution of the number of species found at each site, and how much of a contrast is shown between the restored and degraded areas and how they compare to the reference site.…

are viewed to be one of the charismatic, interesting and of cultural significant animals in the world. They also the ones that need our protection to ensure their survival in the wild. Standing from one point of view, the pandas are an endangered species which once desperately needed funds and resources to save themselves from the brink of extinction. They also helped to raise the awareness of animal conservation worldwide. Opposing this viewpoint, some see the pandas as furry black-and-white…

The changes in species have been explored by many scientists, but Charles Darwin was the first to support his findings on the existence of evolution with abundant evidence. Darwin later came to develop the theory of evolution after his voyage on the HMS Beagle to South America in 1831 for five years. Darwin was an English geologist and naturalist who proposed that organisms have had physical and behavioral changes over time to increase reproductive success and to better adapt to the environment.…

“Invasive species” refers to an ‘alien species’ whose introduction ‘does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm, or harm to human health.’ Although this is a species that is not native to a particular ecosystem, it is important to realise that not all non-native species are invasive. A ‘native’ species is one which is found within a particular region. An invasive species has the potential to influence a wide range of areas, including; environmental, economic and social factors.…

Origin of Species which is now considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. In the book The Time Machine, the Time Traveller theorizes about the evolution of two subdivisions of human life in the future, the Morlocks and the Eloi. The Time Traveller’s theories reflect the ideas of Charles Darwin in that humans evolved, natural selection aided in survival, and organisms were limited in their abilities. In On the Origin of Species, Darwin stated that different species…

an unwanted species. This term is called invasive species, the species that have the tendency to spread its population into the most fragile areas where it cannot tolerate its presence. Furthermore, introducing an invasive species where it doesn’t belong can hurt not only the environment but our economy too. People do not know that dumping home pets into the wild will make a change to its surrounding by either taking over or destroying the food chain. When thinking of invasive species, it is…

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…

Invasive species are tearing down our ecosystems, and we need creative ways to get rid of them. In the Article “The Snake That's Eating Florida” it explains how invasive species are killing america, and how in Florida the Burmese Python is killing all. Invasive species are a problem because they hurt ecosystems. Burmese Pythons are being released into the wild by owners that want to get rid of them. The breed at least 100 small eggs per a breeding. These Pythons are hurting the fragile…

Native species are species that have evolved to in a particular region over a long period of time, and have adapted to live in that region’s climate and habitat. These species live in this region with all the other species to form an ecosystem. Non native species on the other hand, are species that are introduced to an area they're not used to by humans, either by accident, or intentionally (getthegreen). Invasive species are a type of non native species, that are very likely to cause harm to…
