Zebra mussel

The data shows that once the round goby was introduced to the ecosystem the native species began to decline. The four native species in lab were perch, bass, bluegill, and walleye. Each species had to use a different utensil to collect food. The perch used one plastic spoon, the bass used two knives, the bluegill used one fork, and the walleye used two forks. In graph one it is shown that the smallmouth bass still survived greatly even with the round goby in the ecosystem. In table 2 the round…

Biodiversity is something that we must preserve, rebuild, and is what we must let flourish and thrive. For that it is a major component of the sustainability of Earth and the human race. It provides us with our essential day-to-day needs such as coffee. {Coffee is derived from the coffee plant, and is crucial to most humans on the planet to get their morning jolt of energy, which helps keep productivity high. Without coffee people probably wouldn’t even get out of bed let alone go to work.…

interfaces between land and water environments that makes them susceptible to invasion from both. Wetlands can also act as pathways for invasive species to travel from different habitat types. Examples of wetland invasive species in Ireland include zebra mussels, American mink, Canadian waterweed, Japanese knotweed, giant rhubarb and giant hogweed. Pollution Pollution poisons the environment, it can kill wildlife and cause illness. Pollution can be caused by: sewage entering rivers, run-off…

1. Identify and discuss three reasons that endangerment occurss. One of the reasons that endangerment occur is habitat destruction. Habitat destruction has gone over to the top because mostly all the wild animals has really what to call a home. Man kind has wiped out their homes for our house,food markets and many more things that can provide us but not them. A second one would be illegal hunting. Illegal hunting had made many animals died because of this type of game. For putting them up as…

this ship is “an archeological miracle”? What evidence in the article supports your answer? The ship was described as a “an archeological miracle” because of its ability to remain in in such great condition after many years “If it wasn't for the zebra mussels [covering the shipwreck]”. 2. Kennard and Scovill said they regard the shipwreck as a war grave. What did they mean by this? What evidence in the article supports your answer? "Certainly it is one of the earliest discovered shipwrecks, if…

scientists believe that one reason invasive species get there is because the species’ habitat is destroyed and they then have to find a new home. Sometimes when invaders get to the locations, it’s unintentional, like in the great lakes with zebra mussels. The mussels attach to ships without knowledge, then being moved to new bodies of water where they then reproduce rapidly, taking over the area. Invasive species are everywhere in the world. Almost, if not all, reasons that invasive species get…

Complex issues such as health problems, environmental issues, or environmental health problems, such as air and water pollution, hazard wastes sites, lead poisoning and species instability are all liked together and are fixed in communities in which they occur. These kinds of complex problems that occur in communities are said to be “wicked problems” where different stakeholders cannot find scientific solutions in order to fix these complex issues. These problems are seen throughout the world,…

I returned to my location on the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Path, just past the Center of Limnology going toward the lakeshore side of campus, on April 6, 2018 from 10:45-11:15 am. It was chilly and very windy that day. It had snowed earlier in the week, so there was still some white visible on the land surrounding the lake. The land straight across the lake looks like a town or city. On both sides of the town, there are many trees lining the shore. The trees look like a mix of pine trees and…
