Invasive Species
think about how biological exchange helps explain modern global history. You will choose a plant or animal that was made mobile through human activity sometime over the past 500 years. I am giving the author their choice so long as the paper is well written and follows the specifications I have listed. Your profile of the species that you choose to write about should answer each of the following questions:
1. What was the species’ native range? Any human uses?
2. When did it spread, and what force(s) were responsible for it spreading?
3. What conditions made possible its “invasion” of a new place?
4. What were the environmental ramifications of the invasion?
5. What were the human (cultural, political, economic) ramifications?
