ALIEN or EXOTIC- Non-Native Causes problems in the new environment

Asian Carp Zebra Mussels

Reproduce rapidly Lack predators and diseases that would otherwise keep the numbers down Adapts to new environments quickly Plants can change the environment to suit its own survival needs Able to live off a wide variety of food sources

ON PURPOSE? BY ACCIDENT? OR

On purpose or by accident? PURPOSE- In 1890, 100 birds were released into Central Park in New York City by fans of William Shakespeare, who had mentioned the bird in his writings.

Where were they originally? EURASIA Where can they be found now? ALL OVER North America and parts of Canada

They destroy crops They rob native birds of nesting sites

On purpose or by accident? BOTH- It was introduced accidentally as a contaminant in the ballast of ships and on purpose as a medicinal herb to treat bleeding, wounds, ulcers, and others

Where was it originally? EURASIA Where can it be found in North America now? Mostly in the north, but it has been found in almost every state

It reproduces rapidly Displaces native plants, eliminating natural food

On purpose or by accident? By accident- Thought to be brought to North America in 1990’s in overseas ship containers

Where was it originally? ASIA Where can it be found in North America now? It has been found in 15 states so far and parts of Canada

One of the most destructive non- native insects in U.S. Killed at least million ash trees

Mechanical- prescribed fire, manual removal, explosives Biological- natural enemies such as insects or pathogens that attack the invasive species Chemical- manipulation of water or soil chemistry to increase the growth of native species Cultural- educating people, encouraging actions that minimize the spread of invasive species

1. NEVER release exotic plants or animals into the wild. 2. Urge your family and friends to plant only native species in yards or gardens. 3. DON’T move firewood! 4. “If you are a boater, inspect and remove aquatic plants, animals, and mud from your boat, motor, and trailer. 5. Educate your family and friends.
