SBI3UB Biology: Key Questions On Biology

People will not take good care of them because they get to big and their owners get scared and release them into the wild where there is already other animals habitats without thinking there is other ways you can get rid of your invasive pet. The second reason is, Certain plant rely on animals to keep them alive in their environment in which they live in. If you take the animal away from its original environment it could affect plants that rely on that animal and could cause the animal that went to its new environment to cause it to scare an animal away that had a plant that relied on that animal. or the new animal could eat the plant that the other animal relied on.My third and final reason is, The invasive species multiply and take over the environment causing corruption and harm.The animals take over other animals habitats causing the ecosystem to change which is not a good thing. Some of the animals that are brought here could have the same similar habitat that the native animals have and could scare the native animals out of their original habitat.Since the animals ruin the environment people should not release the non native animals. People who are worried about there invasive species getting to big should call someone who deals with wild animals and they will decide what they need to do with the

An invasive species is an organism (plant, animal, fungi or bacteria) that is not native to the ecosystem. The invasive species can also have a negative effect on the economy, the environment and our health. The great horned owl is not an invasive species but are a species control officer of sorts, by eating mice and other small mammals they keep the population

Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus) are one of the most influential and important game animals in America. Their popularity has been the driving force behind conservation, research, and even local economic prosperity. The hunting associated with these birds has become a “southern tradition” since these hunts are typically social events. Currently the bobwhite quail is undergoing a long term population decline which has prompted even more conservation efforts and research. Bobwhite quail are extremely sensitive to habitat quality which has recently been used to promote conservation based land management practices. This not only benefits the bobwhite but other less sensitive animals found within its range. Conservation

Invasive, alien species, those which colonise, expand and out compete native species (Smith & Smith, 2009), are a major threat to our habitats, terrestrial and aquatic species, and biodiversity. Agricultural and leisure industries are affected as well as conservation welfare and the continued wellbeing of man, flora and fauna. Whole ecosystems can be distorted and the economic cost of awareness, prevention and eradication systems is substantial. Most invasive species have been introduced by mandeliberately or otherwise. As an island, Ireland has been subjected to less invasive species than larger nearby land masses e.g. Europe, but islands have a less diverse species population and are therefore more vulnerable when invaded. As international movements increase, risks spread. Some non-native species are not obviously detrimental on introduction, but become so in the future and intensive monitoring is required.

Invasive species are “species that is non-native to the ecosystem whose introduction is likely to cause economic and environmental harm”. A example of Invasive species would be the Zebra Mussel. Zebra Mussels or also known as Dreissena polymorpha is a small freshwater mussel. The Zebra Mussels can live up to three-nine years which can grow up to 2 inches. These mussels attach to hard surfaces such as rocks or boats. They were first introduced to the Great lakes in 1988 but were originally from Russian and Ukraine lakes. The Zebra Mussels were first found in Lake St. Claire (one of the 5 great lakes) which within one year they rapidly spread to almost all of the Great Lakes except Lake Superior. This is because Lake Superior is not the ideal

The first invasive species is the Giant African Snail. It originated from Africa and was first presented to Florida as being a pet. These snails have more than 500 host plants, and if they became native to Florida it would potentially devastate Florida’s agriculture. To remove the snail yo have to search around houses and plants and hand remove them from the environment.They are found around houses because

There are many invasive species that are affecting the Everglades by invading the ecosystem. Many of these species were brought to the everglades by people and animals. They are changing the ecosystem and are competing with natural native inhabitants of that area. The native species have to adapt to the change or move to another area to survive. Both plant and animal species have invaded the area within the Everglades. One plant example that has invaded the Everglades is the Brazilian Pepper Tree. This was first introduced in the 19th Century and came from areas within Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. This plant species was first brought to the Everglades by birds and then was spread by racoons and possums. It is invasive because it grows very

Located in a historic Civil War era grist mill by the river, the Brandywine River Museum is home to native artists and much more. Here you can see some of the best American realism painting by Andrew Wyeth, his father N. C. Wyeth who was a renown children 's illustrator, and another family member, Jamie Wyeth.

Figure 16 displays the phylogenetic tree for a pig and shows that these species consists of several clades. A clade is specie with one common ancestor and all of its descendants. In Figure 15, the phylogenetic tree shows the very close relationship between the pig (Sus Scrofa) and Sus bucculentus as they have the most recent common ancestor. Figure 15, also shows that sus scrofa is more related to sus verrucisus than sus cebifrons as it closer to the phylogenetic tree.

the basin is actually in Virginia and West Virginia. It is sometimes reffered to as the Kanawha

Runoff, a common problem in many areas, has many causes. These causes, although sometimes avoidable,such as pollution, it can be repaired. As pollution and erosion, two of the main topics in this paper, affect the water quality, the agents aiding the processes are unstoppable. While agents are unstoppable, runoff is still controllable as far as the rate of runoff. When writing a paper such as this, the many information collected is shown in separate paragraphs, corresponding to the ideas.

The majority of the invasive species are introduced through irresponsible owners letting their pets go. If there was a restriction on invasive species easily going out pet store doors, many pet owners would be saved the trouble. If a licence was required, inexperienced people would not even think to just buy an exotic species. With people already currently owning an exotic species that they can no longer handle, their is still an option for them. Every year in florida there is a pet amnesty day in many areas where you can take your exotic species to give up, no questions asked. Florida’s invasive species list is rapidly growing making it more difficult for native species to compete. If we all work together, we can keep our communities, our families, and our natural Florida

The teeth of Bathygnathus are long, recurved, and distinctively teardrop-shaped, that be widest at the middle rather than the base. The teardrahp shaipe of the teeth is an indication that Bathygnathus belongs to the family Sphenacodontidae. The shaipe of the maxilla indicates that Bathygnathus had an deep skul like those of other advanced sphenacodontids like Dimetrodon. Like Dimetrodon, Bathygnathus has a enlarged caniniform tooth near an front of the

Depending on the different environment that a species is introduced to, the species’ characteristics will determine whether or not it will be invasive, helpful, or just a non-native species. An invasive species is a species that is introduced to a new environment, either on purpose, or by accident, and causes harm to our environment, economy, and health (Ballaro and Morley 1). A non-native species is a species that lives outside of its natural habitat, but does not negatively impact its new environment. A native species is a species that has thrived in a region for thousands of years without being accidentally, or intentionally introduced (Ballaro and Morley 1).
