By: Kiley Hajek Mrs. Venesky Pd. 3 Definition: A species whose population is so small that it is at risk of becoming extinct 5 Most Common Reasons for Endangerment: Habitat loss Pollution Over Exploitaion Climate Change Disease Prevent Endangerment by: Learning more about the Species Being aware of possible environmental problems Creating Conservation groups or clubs Indiana Bat Scientific Name: Myotis Sodalis Reasons that Endangered: Cave Commercialism and Improper Gating, Loss of Habitat, Insect pesticides, Environmental Contaminates Piping Plover Scientific Name: Charadrius melodus Reason that Endangered: Loss of Habitat by Commercialism of Beaches, Dams flooding nesting areas and making them too dry, Sensitivity to humans causes them to abandon their nests, eggs being crushed by humans, animals preying on the eggs Bog Turtle Scientific Name: Glyptemys muhlenbergii Reasons that Endangered: Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due to development, encroachment of invasive exotic plant species Northeastern bulrush Scientific Name: Scirpus ancistrochaetus Reasons that Endangered: filling and ditching in it’s wetland habitats Small-whorled pogonia Scientific Name: Isotria Medeoloides Reasons that Endangered: collecting habitat and alteration, only 3 populations in PA Definitions Native: Species that has been in an area for a long time Introduced: Species which is brought into a new area Invasive: A species whose introduction causes environmental harm 5 most common ways invasive species come into the U.S. : 1. foreign ballast water 2. hidden in wood packing material 3. hidden in other vegetation via the nursery trade 4. hidden aboard ships 5. hitchhiking on other species Negative effects on the environment: Increased Competition and Predation Disease Habitat Destruction Genetic Stock Altercation in PA Wild Boar Scientific Name: Sus scrofa Linnaeus Origin: Eurasia Niche in Natural Environment: Scavenger and Nuisance Niche in Introduced Environment: Scavenger and Nuisance Problems they cause: Damage Native plants and animals in PA Mexican Fruit Fly Scientific Name: Anastrepha ludens Origin: Mexico and Central America Niche in Native Environment: Eat fruit, part of food chain Niche in Introduced Environment: Eat fruit, part of food chain Problems they cause: Larvae attack Fruit of Economic Value in PA Cane Toad Scientific Name: Rhinella marina Origin: South America Niche in Native Environment: Insect control, scavengers Niche in Introduced Environment: Insect control, scavengers, nuisance Problems they cause: Preys on and competes with native species; poisonous to pets in PA Chocolate vine Scientific Name: Akebia quinata Origin: Central China, Korea, Japan Niche in Native Environment: Nuisance, part of food chain Niche in Introduced Environment: Nuisance, part of food chain, invades under-story plant growth Problems it causes: Outgrow, choke, and displace native plants; monopolize nutrients, water, light, and space in PA Amur maple Scientific Name: Acer ginnala Origin: Russian Federation, Mongolia, China, Japan, Korea Niche in Native Environment: provides shade, shelter, and beauty Niche in Introduced Environment: Displaces native shrubs and under-story trees, provides shade, shelter, and beauty Problems it causes: out-competes native flowers, prevents surrounding plants from growing, displaces native plant species Definitions Reintroduced Species: a species that is reinstated into an area in which it was established before but became extinct Extirpated Species: a species that becomes extinct from a particular area Elk At one time, elk were extinct in North America. In 19131927 elk were introduced to Pennsylvania and several other states. In 1999 a relocation program released more elk in Pennsylvania. http://www.fws.gov U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service http://www.naturalheritage.state.pa.us Pennsylvania www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov National Invasive Species Information Center intranet.iucn.org IUCN/SSC Natural Heritage Program Guidelines for Re-Introductions http://kids.nationalgeographic.com National Geographic Kids
