Characteristic Examples
Low reproductive rate(K-strategist)
Specialized niche
Narrow distribution
Feeds at high trophic level
Fixed migratory patterns
Rare
Commercially valuable

Greater extinction rates due to:
Biodiversity loss due to exponential growth “Hot spots” cause concern
Colonization sites are being eliminated

May replace native Disrupt ecosystems Large economic loss
![Page 26: AP Environmental Mrs. Dow Chapter 12](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568148da550346895db5f3d4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Characteristics ofSuccessful
Invader Species
• High reproductive rate, short generation time (r-selected species)
• Pioneer species

• High dispersal rate
• Release growth- inhibiting chemicals into soil
• Generalists
• High genetic variability
Characteristics ofEcosystems Vulnerable
to Invader Species
• Similar climate to habitat of invader
• Absence of predators on invading species
• Early successional systems
• Low diversity of native species
• Absence of fire
• Disturbed by human activities

Protecting Wild Species 12.8 Sanctuary approach
542 federal refuges○ 1/5 of U.S. endangered & threatened species
Zoos & aquariums○ Egg pulling○ Captive breeding○ Artificial insemination
![Page 43: AP Environmental Mrs. Dow Chapter 12](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568148da550346895db5f3d4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reintroducing species into wildNot enough suitable landBreed in captivity not able to survive in wildRenewed overhunting of returned species
10,000+ need to continue evolution

What Can You Do?
Protecting Species
• Do not buy furs, ivory products, and other materials made from endangered or threatened animal species.
• Do not buy wood and paper products produced by cutting remaining old-growth forests in the tropics.
• Do not buy birds, snakes, turtles, tropical fish, and other animals that are taken from the wild.
• Do not buy orchids, cacti, and other plants that are taken from the wild.
