Because of their inability to reproduce rapidly, "k"-selected species tend to be more sensitive to change and are, therefore, less able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. This is what makes them susceptible to endangerment.

Why is it important to know the life cycle of a pest in order to effectively control it?
It is important to know the life cycle of the pest you are attempting to eradicate so that you can prevent a rebound population. If you kill all the adult pest but do not deal with the larvae or eggs, the pest population is likely to recover.
How much does it cost to have pest control clear birds away in the UK?
In the UK it is illegal to clear birds away (most bird species are protected by law). There fore you could not hire "pest control" to do this.
Species specific role in the environment?
Each species plays a unique role in its environment. This role could include pollination, seed dispersal, pest control, nutrient cycling, or providing food for other species. By performing these different functions, species contribute to the overall health and functioning of the ecosystem.
Is lizards pets or pest?

Are peacock mantis shrimp an endangered species?
Peacock mantis shrimp are not considered an endangered species. They are widespread and abundant in tropical and subtropical coastal regions worldwide. However, their populations can be impacted by habitat destruction and overfishing in some areas.
Why is an introduced pest species more likely to be a generalist than a specialist?
Specialistic species will be less likely to thrive in a new environment especially if they have very specific nutritional climate. (Think panda and bamboo or koala and eucalyptus.) Introduced generalist species that can subsist on any vegetation, (think of the introduction of rabbits to Australia), can overrun the more specialized populations and become a pest very rapidly.
Which species is a small brightly-colored agricultural pest?

What is integrated pest management and its advantages?
integrated pest management is a process where people or organisations such as in New Zealand where DoC (department of Conservation) take measures to ensure the safety and survival of native or endemic species. These species can be put in jeopardy when introduced pest species put pressures on their survival. E.g. Introduced Stoats are predators to Kiwi in New Zealand rendering them a critically endangered species. Pests are sometimes not introduced but simply become so through massive reproductive success periods. Integrated pest management serves to aim to reduce the amount of pests in areas where repercussions of their effects are felt.

Semiochemicals in pest management?
Semiochemicals are chemical signals that play a crucial role in pest management by influencing the behavior of insects. They can be classified into two main categories: pheromones, which are used for communication within the same species, and allelochemicals, which affect different species. In pest management, semiochemicals can be employed to attract or repel pests, disrupt mating patterns, or lure them into traps, thereby reducing pest populations with minimal environmental impact. Their use is an integral part of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
