Where is zebra mussel native to?
The species was originally native to the lakes of southern Russia.
Where is the zebra mussel found?
This species was native to southern Russia
What is an example of a non-native invasive species?
One example of a non-native invasive species is the Asian carp in North America. These fish have negatively impacted local ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources and altering habitats. Their rapid breeding and ability to spread quickly have made them difficult to control.
What is a non example of a species?
A non-native invasive species refers to any species that originates abroad but is introduced to a new territory, resulting in ecological, environmental and/or economic destruction. Often, the introduction of the invasive species is the result of human travel or transport which allows a species to "hitch a ride" to new areas they would not have otherwise visited. A perfect example in the US is the Zebra Mussel, a small mussel native to Eurasia. However, it is believed that the Zebra Mussel migrated to the United States in the ballast water of ships (which subsequently released them into US waterways). Since their introduction in the late 1980's, the Zebra Mussel has been responsible for clogging power plant water intake systems, blocking pipelines, changing water quality and threatening the existence of several species of native clams and mussels. (In their defense, they are also very effective at filtering pollutants out of the water which, in some areas, has increased the populations of native fish species.)
Difference between native and non native species?
The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.
How can non-native species affect the survival of native species?
they have effect on it by eating and killing all the native species
Introduced species can have important effects on biological communities by?
Preying upon native species competing with native species for resources displacing native species :)
Differentiate Alien Species from Exotic Species?
An alien species is a species that is not native to an area. An exotic species is native to an area but not common.
What would happen if a invasive species enters the desert?
There are invasive species in many of the deserts around the world. Many times they do not have any natural enemies in their new environment and will eventually crowd out native species.
What is the Japanese ideogram for great blue heron?
Great blue herons are not native to Japan, so there is likely no ideogram for that species.
What is the definition for bioinvasion?
Bioinvasion is when a non-native organism enters a enviorment (ecosystem) that it's not native to. EX: The Zebra Mussel it was inly native to eastern Europe are now found in the Great Lakes in Canada.
What would happen if there was a decrease in number of the coyote population?
For once, it would be a good thing to see a species decline a bit. The adaptable coyote is found now in great numbers where it is not native, and has become a threat to native species and livestock, even children.
