b) What is the take home message of the article?
The introducing invasive species into the new habitat can cause harm to native species.

c) What is your opinion about the article?
We must avoid taking the turtle eggs if we happen to found them. We can not simply eat them because we do not know whether Helminths has invaded into the turtle body or not. The safety measure applies to any animal that we found.

b) What is the take home message of the article?
We need to consider the new species that we introduce in new area not affect the origin species, otherwise it become pest to the native species.

(c) What is your opinion about the article?
In our opinion the article has illustrated the author's findings very well. In this article, we agree with the author that the introduction of alien turtle species should be strongly discouraged as it become pest to the native one.

Do not simply introduced a species to another places without knowing their truely natural habitat and adaptation.

c) What is your opinion about the article? (not more than 50 words)
Increase the sample size so the result will be more accurate and variable. Some results are not successfully been discriminate between competition and density, so it is important to study the food resources and ecology of the introduced species to make sure it will not be a pest once introduced.

Question b): We need to be weary about any species that we introduce into a new area. We wouldn't want it to turn into a pest like in the case of the red-eared slider and the European turtle pond.

Question c): The article clearly shows that the European pond turtle and the introduced red-eared slider competes to get their optimal basking site. The article also describes their experimental methods and the reason behind their experiment.

b) What is the take home message of the article ?

The introduction of allochthonous species should be prevented as it can reduce the population of autochthonous species. Courtship between different spesies can occur due to misidentification of potential mates.

c) What is your opinion about the article ?

The observation is understandably explained which is good for the first attempt of doing the research. Since the article is the first record of attempting courtship between authochthronous E. orbicularis and introduced T. scripta, further observation should be run to support the article and its previous record.

Question 2 :
b) What is the take home message of the article?

Answer :
The existing asymmetries in morphology, ecology and behavioural responses of native Iberian turtles and introduced red eared sliders, resulting from adaptatio  to their respective natural habitats, seem to be jointly responsible for thr greater competitive ability of exotic Trachemys scripta

Question 3 :
c) What is your opinion about the article?
Answer :
Our opinion is it tell us about the effect of introducing invasive species on the habitat and the native species. The interactions between Trachemys scripta and the Iberian turtles shows the existence of competition such as food, basking places and nesting sites.

B) Take home messages:The introduction of alien species may threaten the well-being and survival of native species when the introduced species is very adaptive and highly competitive.

C)The author should increase the sample sizes and the replicates in this experiment to get a more accurate and reliable results. The article well expressed the author's urge to stop the introduction of exotic turtle into the natural habitat because this act would bring potential harm to the natural species.

B Take home message:

Both Alien and native compete for food, basking places or nesting sites. Alien species are more advantageous as they have larger adult body size, a more diverse diet, a higher fecundity and a greater tolerance to pollution and human presence.

C Opinion:
The introduction of alien species is a very irresponsible act by human as it could bring irreversible and destructive impact to native species. The introduction of Trachemys scripta has caused native Iberian turtles to become an endangered species in last decades.

Question 1

T. scripta was found to be more aggressive compared to M. leprosa native. It was more rigorous in heterospecific individuals. (Polo-Cavia, López and Martín, 2010).

Question 2

Polo-Cavia, N., López, P. and Martín, J. (2010). Aggressive interactions during feeding between native and invasive freshwater turtles. Biological Invasions, 13(6), pp.1387-1396.

Question 3
What is the take home message of the article?  (not more than 25 words)

T.scripta is more dominant and aggressive than M.leprosa which cause displacement of the current native species.
(16 words)

Question 4
This study is quite unique compared to other invasive species studies as it focuses on the ecological relationship between Trachemys scripta elegans (invasive) and Mauremys leprosa (native)
terrapins. The study uses an interesting experimental design to simulate the terrapins’ competitive behaviour in the wild, making the impact of invasive species more quantifiable.

It is important to remove non-native turtle species from sites having indigenous turtle species to ensure successful mating of the indigenous species.
(22 words)

c) What is your opinion about the article? (not more than 50 words)

In our opinion, the article gives a complete and detailed information about the attempted courtship between male E. orbicularis and female T. scripta that occurs repeatedly thus could potentially lead to a reduction of gravid females of E. orbicularis in the long term. (40 words)

For in-text citation:

"Females might perceive other females as heavier and more dangerous competitors than males, thus avoiding intrasex confrontations"

b)

A more aggressive and threatening behavior of introduced Trachemys scripta elegans, during feeding, might lead to observed displacement of native Spanish terrapin (Mauremys leprosa).

c)

In my opinion, the content of this article is very compact and precise because the authors have clearly explained about the competition between the native and invasive turtle species. In term of credibility, the information provided in this article are all being well cited.
