متن کاملRestoring Balance: Using Exotic Species to Control Invasive Exotic Species
Invasive species threaten natural habitats worldwide, and active human management is required to prevent invasion, contain spread, or remediate ecosystems following habitat degradation. One powerful technology for invasive species management in sensitive habitats is biological control, the use of carefully selected upper-trophic-level organisms that utilize the exotic pest as a resource, thereb...
متن کاملPotential for the Invasive Species Aedes Albopictus and Arboviral Transmission through the Chabahar Port in Iran
