Species

Scientists looked for extinctions caused by invasive species. They found 170 extinct animal species with a cause of extinction listed. Invasive species are a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location, and has a tendency to spread to a degree that can cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health. According to the NWF, Invasive species are outcompeting native species, growing out of control, and cost the economy a lot of money. Have you ever seen

definition of an endangered species is a species that is at a critical risk of extinction. Not only can different species be endangered, they can also be categorized into six major categories which are; vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered, and extinct in the wild. The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) is one of the main resources for the categorization of these species. The Genus name is Macaca silenus and it is a part of the endangered species category. This lion tailed

Since the arrival of humans, species of all kinds have gone extinct at exceedingly rapid rates with no consideration of the detrimental effects it can have on the planet. Animals become extinct for countless reasons such as natural disasters, inability to adapt to different environments, and a loss of habitat. According to Freedman and Duncan, today, extinction rates have risen to an average of 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural extinction rate (2014). Extinction is a natural process in life, however

Is it worth the sacrifice to save a species by interfering with the process of natural selection? Yes it is worth the sacrifice to save a species by interfering with the process of natural selection. If we were to not let that species exist it could mess up a lot of things. The things it would mess up would be the environment and the food chain. If a species was to go extinct it would mess up the environment. If bees were to go extinct than flowers won’t be able to get pollinated. Herbivores that

The hypothesis of advancement by characteristic determination, initially figured in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. This is the procedure by which living beings change after some time as a consequence of changes in heritable physical or behavioral attributes. Changes that permit a living being to better adjust to its surroundings will offer it some assistance with surviving and have all the more posterity. Advancement by regular determination is one of the best substantiated speculations

endangering these species. But global warming has helped play a part in it as well. Even though the answers to solving the problem on saving endangered species are known and well aware of, not enough of the human has reached

Sara Zazas Per.5 Invasive Species Invasive species are those that normally live and thrive in a particular community. Non-Native species lives outside of its native range which has arrived there by human activity. A Non-Native Invasive species adversely affects habitats and biodiversity. Today I will be talking about a Non-Native species the red fire ant (Solenopsis Invicta). The red fire ant is a Non-native Invasive species that was brought to the U.S.A by honeybees from south

Panda is on the endangered species list. It has been categorized in the IUCN list and faces the danger of being extinct. Among the things that make it endangered is that it is threatened by continued habitat loss. Pandas are also characterized by very low birth rate, which means that their numbers will continue to decrease with time. It has also become a target for poaching in those areas where they exist (Johnson and Bonnie 67). There are various benefits that would come along with saving Pandas

Scientists estimate that 150-200 living species become extinct every 24 hours. The average human might not consider the significance of these dying species, but that may prove to be an issue in the near future. Living species, as Environmental Specialist Michael Marshall, states, provide “ecosystem services”. Some of these services are obvious, such as the meat that humans consume or the oxygen used to breathe. Imagine the world without any meat, and the widespread food shortages that would result

about the fall back they just want to eat.One thing is,¨Species could carry retroviruses or pathogens when brought back to life.¨They could seriously harm other species that are alive and that same virus or pathogen could mutate and harm us humans to and the very thing we tried to save ends up killing us right after we save its species.Also, ¨De-extinct species would be alien and potentially invasive...¨ Which this means that the de-extinct species could petenshely take
