How did Burmese pythons become an invasive species?

Biology

Answer:

1. Controlled

2. accidental escape

Explanation:

Burmese python has no natural predator hence it is an invasive species with no control. Now, in order to use Burmese python for ornamental work it is necessary to control its growth factors or else it would become invasive. However, it this species (which is grown in controlled environment) get suddenly exposed to limitless growth factors such as ample food supply, no natural predators etc. then it will become invasive.

What are some ways that scientists would collect data and make observations to help them learn more about the severity of the li
True [87]
Most scientists agree, it is unlikely that the lionfish's invasion of U.S. waters can be reversed. Any large-scale attempts to remove the existing lionfish from U.S. Atlantic waters appear impractical and would be very costly, because of the large geographic range and depths that the fish now occupies. Lionfish are now found along the entire southeast U.S. coastline at depths between 1 and 1,000 ft, making their complete removal all but impossible. Scientists do believe, however, that lionfish can be controlled in some locations, such as some Caribbean islands and marine protected areas.  The lionfish invasion highlights the complexity of managing introduced species in the marine environment. Lionfish now join the ranks of other aquatic invasive species that have taken up permanent residence in U.S. waters, such as European green crabs, snakeheads, and zebra mussels.
1.Track the lionfish population. Although more sightings in recent years suggest that more lionfish are present, that may not be the case. It could simply be that more public awareness has led to more reports. A monitoring program is needed to determine if the number of lionfish is actually growing
2. Conduct more research. Scientists' ability to predict the lionfish's future abundance, and its effects on the ecosystem is greatly hindered by a lack of knowledge. Research is needed to determine the lionfish's ability to survive, reproduce, and grow in the Atlantic Ocean.
3.Educate the Public. People need to know that it can be harmful to release aquarium fishes into bodies of water. In the United States and throughout the Caribbean, people should be alerted to the presence of lionfish and encouraged to report sightings. At the same time, people should be cautioned against handling lionfish and made aware of the health risks from their stings.
4.Notify physicians and other health care providers about venomous fish in U.S. waters. One study of reported lionfish stings, mostly involving aquarists, noted no fatalities. Most stings result in uncomplicated wounds with severe local pain that responds well to soaking treatment. A greater risk appears to be secondary infection resulting from the wound. In addition to medical personnel and health-care providers, boat operators and lifeguards also need to be advised about lionfish stings.
5.Make regulations to control the introduction non-native marine species. Bermuda's approach, which is to enforce a strict ban on the importation of live fish, is proving an especially effective way to reduce the risk of aquarium releases. But scientists caution that the issue is more complex than simply limiting imports of non-native species. Some believe that such efforts will fail unless we learn more about how these species disperse once they are introduced into non-native waters. Although the lionfish invasion is probably here to stay, this dramatic event may prompt the development of effective strategies to reduce the ill effects of other marine invaders.
I love lionfish and marine life so this was simple for me! I hope I helped! :)

poizon [28]
<span>By the late 1960s, scientists had developed the theory of plate tectonics based on a range of new evidence. Technological advances had helped reveal that the ocean floor was not essentially flat, as once assumed, but instead was marked by 50,000-kilometer-long (31,000-mile), 3,000-meter-high (9,800-ft) ridges and 11-kilometer-deep (7-mile) trenches. Scientists found striking patterns related to these features. They found that the youngest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and the oldest crust is nearest the trenches. They also detected a pattern of alternating magnetic polarity along the ocean floor, which emanated from the ridge tops. These two pieces of evidence, coupled with the fact that volcanic activity and island-building occurred most commonly at ocean trenches, suggested that new crust was created at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at ocean trenches. Scientists Harry Hess and Robert Dietz used this evidence to revive and expand Holmes' convection theory into the theory they called "seafloor spreading." Finally, Wegener's notion of continental drift was coupled with a mechanism that could explain the movement of tectonic plates.</span>

Human activities

Explanation:

Because humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.

What do you know about food chains and food webs? Explain.
GalinKa [24]
A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. a food chain consists of many interconnected food chains and are more realistic representation of consumption relationships in ecosystems.
