Restoring 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 کاملExotic taxa less related to native species are more invasive.
Some species introduced into new geographical areas from their native ranges wreak ecological and economic havoc in their new environment. Although many studies have searched for either species or habitat characteristics that predict invasiveness of exotic species, the match between characteristics of the invader and those of members of the existing native community may be essential to understa...
متن کاملLearning from Exotic Species
Research of unique features in exotic animal species often reveals unexpected biology and may even shed light on disease treatment. A recent paper by Tian et al. studies a long-lived, cancer-free rodent named the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) to understand the mechanism of cancer resistance. Previous work by the same group has suggested early contact inhibition (ECI) in the naked mole ...
متن کاملExecutive order on exotic species.
-The effect of exogenous Namalva interferon (IF) on the natural killer (NK) cell activity of human blood lymphocytes was examined against 5 target cell lines (K562, CCRF/CEM, Molt 4, Raji and Bri8) using the 51Cr-release assay. Addition of IF to the test significantly increased the cytotoxicity, though not as much as when effector cells were treated with IF before the test. Augmentation of cyto...
