Biology: Introduced Species by Cindy Perez Maldonado

What Are Introduced Species?

fabianismaelsanchez076 — 2015-10-07 16:41:09 UTC

When people bring new species into an environment in which they do not belong, they are considered Introduced species. If the species does not adapt , it will die out. If they are in competition, with one or more species, they will also die out. However , if the species breeds and survives , it will affect the native species. Now that the species is part of the ecosystem, it will compete for resources, change grazing patterns, and/or change the predator/prey dynamics. This can affect the other species and even lead tho their extinction , or growth.

It is native to the southeast and southwest of Australia. It was hunted to extinction ad New Zealand and was late introduced in parts of Australia. They are usually found by themsleves or with a limited amoutn of comapninies.

Narive to Central and South Americas. It has also been introduced to a variety of islands. Its reproductive success is partly because of opportunistic feeding: it's diet. Both dead and living matter.

Article Similarity

The similarities of the two articles are that they both talk about how the introduction of a new species in its non-native land and how it can effect the community or ecosystem in the long run. For example they both discuss the effects on other species' populations and the effects on the producers' population. All of which lead to effects on the food web.

Invasive Species

cindyperez — 2015-10-09 03:58:02 UTC

Nonnative plants and animals that harm or endanger native plants and animals

Biodiversity

cindyperez — 2015-10-09 03:59:41 UTC

the variety of different types of life found on earth. It is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems. This can be genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species variation within an area, biome, or planet.

Native Species

cindyperez — 2015-10-09 04:02:06 UTC

Native species can be either endemic, found only within a particular region) or indigenous which is found both within the region and elsewhere.

Monoculture

cindyperez — 2015-10-09 04:03:14 UTC

The cultivation of a single crop in a given area.

Limiting factor

cindyperez — 2015-10-09 04:43:07 UTC

A resource that is needed by a species to survive in its habitat, a shortage of which limits the species' population
