Re: Invasive Species B/C
Identify by common and scientific name.
Where is it native to?
What biological methods do scientists use to help get rid of it?

Wow, this is pretty early... Well, I'll probably join in after a bit of studying.

1. Red Imported Fire Ant, [i]Solenopsis invicta[/i] 2. South America 3. They use a "bait" that attracts the ants, the bait is insecticide, killing the ants when they try to eat it.

Re: Invasive Species B/C
Yes and yes, but for 3, insecticide is a physical method. Examples of biological methods would be protozoans (Thelohania solenopsae), fungi (Beauveria bassiana), flies (Pseudacteon tricuspis and Pseudacteon curvatus), viruses (SINV-1) or parasitic ants (Solenopsis daguerrei).Magikarpmaster629 wrote:UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:

1. Genus and Common name
2. Where and when did it invade the US?
3. Where is it native to?
4. What is the name of the disease it carries?
5. What kind of pathogen carries that disease?
6. Is its effect more ecologic or economic?
