Notes: Invasive Species Tuesday 1-5-10 Notes: Invasive Species

(1) Defining Invasive Species Foreign organisms which invade and conquer ecosystems, often altering available resources. Examples: Zebra Mussels Nutria Sea Lamprey Garlic Mustard

Zebra Mussels Brought in from Black Sea Waters on Importing Ships Reproduce Rapidly, Cover ALL Surfaces, Deplete Aquatic Nutrients for other organisms, Ruin Man-Made structures.

Nutria Brought in from South America Americans wanted to breed nutria for their pelts/fur Became overpopulated  reproduce quickly Depleting plant matter and fish matter in swamps Currently found in the south

Sea Lamprey comes from the Atlantic Ocean Entered Great Lakes through canals Harms + Overeats native fish in the great lakes.

Garlic Mustard European Plant Not able to pinpoint mode of transportation Overpopulates Michigan Forests Depletes resources for Michigan wildflowers, and consequently Michigan trees

(2) Simpsons Episode: Bart Vs. Australia What is the Invasive Species? Where did the Invasive Species come from? What harm does the Invasive Species cause in Australia? Which animal may become America’s new Invasive Species?
