Which of the following organisms would be most likely to become invasive if introduced to a new habitat?
A- A plant that is pollinated by a single species of insect
B- A plant that requires a long period of cold weather in order to germinate
C- An animal that reaches sexual maturity at 20 years of age
D- A fungus that produces millions of spores that disperse on the wind
E- An animal that feeds on only one species of plant
What should be done about an invasive species, especially one that dominates an ecosystem or causes economic damage? Should we try to eliminate the invasive species entirely? Should we try to contain it or reduce its influence? Should we just give up and learn to live with it?
Does Totoaba offer any ecosystem benefits? I know their demise is causing the Vaquita to go extinct due to illegal poaching, however, are Totoaba themselves important? Essentially, if Totoaba went extinct, what would happen?

- Which statement about the classic competition experiments involving two Paramecium species is FALSE? The experiment involved interspecific competition. The experiment involved exploitation competition. Each species, when grown alone, exhibited logistic growth. When grown together, the species exhibited logistic growth, but each reached a lower carrying capacity than when it was grown alone.arrow_forwardWhat's the advantage of using insects as a food source, in terms of environmental impact and climate change?

According to the video and the background information, what are the effects (direct and indirect) that elephants have on acacias? (Select all that apply.) Elephants can feed on and destroy individual acacia trees not protected by ants. Browsing by elephants induces the acacias to provide food and shelter to the ants. Loss of browsing by elephants eventually leads to the decrease of ant colonization of acacias. Reduced nutritional and physical support of ants by acacias due to loss of browsing by elephants allows other ant species and stem-boring beetles to inhabit the trees. video link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293sarrow_forward
