1)
In ecosystem, the term invasive species refers to:
Native species
Non-native species
Can be both native and non-native species
None of the above
2)
It is too difficult to identify the invasion of Asian long-horned beetle at the early stage. The reason is:
They burrow deep inside the heartwood of a tree
They attack the leaves and cannot be easily recognizable
They hide in the crevices of tress
They are nocturnal species
3)
Characteristic feature(s) of an invasive species
Natural mechanisms of rapid dispersal
Disrupt a particular habitat
Dominant colonization
All the above
4)
Invasion of Sea lamprey threats the population of
Salvelinus namaycush
Mastacembelus armatus
Polyodon spathula
Anguilla rostrata
5)
An example for a biological control agent to reduce the species invasion in ecosystem
Giant salvinia
Asecodes hispinarum
Amitrol
Brontispa longissima
6)
The rate of the spread of pest population depend (s) on
Number of native species
Rate of population growth
Adaptation of the new species to a particular area
Temperature
