Invasive species allow other species in the habitat to escape their normal enemies c. Predators and pathogens have significantly greater ability to invade other habitats than any other organisms d. Invasive species perform well in foreign habitats as they because not face their normal enemies e. Invasive species replace the native enemies of resident specie

Environmental scientists David Pimentel, Rodolfo Zuniga, and Doug Morrison of Cornell University reviewed scientific estimates for the economic and ecological costs imposed by introduced and invasive species in the United States. They found that, as of 2005, approximately 50,000 species had been introduced in the United States and that these accountedfor over $120 billion in economic costs each year. These costs include direct losses and damage, as well as costs required to control the species. (The researchers did not quantify monetary estimates for losses of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and aesthetics, which they said would drive total costs several times higher.) Calculate values missing from the table to determine the number of introduced species of each type of organism and the annual cost that each imposes on our economy. Of the 50,000 species introduced into the UnitedStates, half are plants. Describe two ways in whichnon-native plants might be brought to a new location.How…

Which of the following rows correctly describes the difference between predation and parasitism? Select one: a. Predation Parasitism The host species is killed to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. b. Predation Parasitism The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species. The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. c. Predation Parasitism The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. d. Predation Parasitism The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species.
Which of the following best describes a keystone species? a. An organism, whose introduction causes or is likely to cause environmental harm b. An organism, who if removed, the entire ecosystem changes. c. Can signal a change in the biological condition of a particular ecosystem and diagnose the health of that ecosystem d. Can indirectly protect several other species in the same habitat
How is integrated pest management (IPM) different from other forms of pest control? O IPM only supports mechanical control of pests in an area. O IPM tolerates a low number of pests in an area. O IPM favors the generation of herbicide-resistant weeds. O IPM prohibits the use of herbicides in an area. O IPM suggests the use of herbicide-resistant plants.
