Since redbanded stink bug is relatively new species in the existing sting bug complex, there is a lack of information about this pest compared to other stink bugs. One of the gaps in our present understanding is its potential spring hosts where its population can build up before migrating to soybean.

Residents of urban areas far from the Everglades are no longer safe from the invasion of non-native species that are over taking the state. With Giant African Land Snails, Wild Pigs, Cane Toads and even some of the ‘man-eating’ species spreading into the urban areas.

The Burmese Pythons are negatively affecting the Everglades by disrupting the food chain.

Invasive species come in many forms; they can be plants, animals, insects, fish, fungus, organisms, and bacteria. Invasive plants are those which cause environmental, economic and human harm and originate from another area or region. They are a complex and difficult problem to tackle. There are more than 4,000 plants species found in Florida, of those 1300 or more are non-native or invasive. Many invasive species are taking over Florida’s waterways disrupting their natural ecosystem by outgrowing and replacing Florida’s native plants. Relieving the damage they cause is not easy, but scientists and members of the communities being affected are finding that it is achievable, as long as everyone works as a team to address the issue.

("National Geographic") The Green Iguana is originally from Northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and Southern Brazil. These lizards were first documented in Miami, Florida in 1964. They most likely are in Florida because they were previously pets, or they were illegally dropped in channels. Although these animals may seem fairly harmless, within their feces lies salmonella, which can be harmful. ("Florida's Iguana Infestation") In regards to Florida’s ecosystem, the Green Iguana does not belong. Due to other nonnative animals’ negative impact on Florida’s ecosystem, it is believed that these animals are likely to bring detrimental issues as well. ("Feral Iguanas in FL") To many, the Green Iguana is thought of as “pesky” and “vexing”, causing people to call trappers to remove them. After they are captured, the trapper will either freeze their bodies and await their deaths or euthanize them. ("Florida's Iguana Infestation") The last invasive species to be described is the Wild

Species can become invasive due to the lack of predators in its environment.

All around the United States, millions of people can be found in front of their televisions for any type of collegiate athletic event. Between the winning buzzer-beater shots to the large rivalry games that remind people of their love for college sports, it should be no surprise that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) brings in billions of dollars yearly through their respected institutions. As collegiate sports have dominated the American entertainment industry, the question of paying these athletes is ever growing in today’s society.

It wasn’t until high school that I discovered a career path that would satisfy my love of science and criminal justice; Forensics. I took a couple Forensics classes and became hooked.
