A sea otter eyes its lunch, one of two invasive European green crabs it was able to retrieve underwater. Photo taken in 2011 in Moss Landing, CA. Green crabs are originally from Europe and arrived ...
The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...
Wart-covered creature — with a ‘peeping’ call — discovered in Indonesia is new species ‘Large’ 8-eyed creature with ‘wiggly’ genitalia found on trees. It’s a new species
A gene drive could be used to eliminate invasive species and has, for example, been proposed as a way to eliminate invasive mammal species in New Zealand. [175] Briefly put, an individual of a species may have two versions of a gene, one with a desired coding outcome and one not, with offspring having a 50:50 chance of inheriting one or the other.
Scientists have identified several new marine species in a pristine underwater ecosystem recently discovered in international waters -- and they expect to find more. Modern technology that allows ...
Exotic species control falls under the management of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has been compiling and disseminating information about invasive species since 1994. Control of invasive species costs $500 million a year, but 1,700,000 acres (6,900 km 2) of land in South Florida remains infested. [5]
This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
These are lists of invasive species by country or region. A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
