Non-Native Specie: House Mouse 3a). The house mouse is a native rodent from Eurasia. They were introduced worldwide through the human association. The first country that introduced the house mouse to the United States was Western Europe. In Southern California we don't have a high population of house mouse but the small amount that we do came from Asia. 3B). This specie does have a colonized habitat. They like to colonize in homes, stores granaries, barns, and feed houses. They like to colonize in humans homes because they eat any type of human food but they are mainly on the look out for cereals and grains. when they have to set up a nest they go out to the wild specially on greenery areas and fields. The House mouse don't have loss of natives since they aren't aggressive species since they habitat in large territories. The male house mousse get aggressive male to male because they like to protect their territories. when female mouse are expecting they get aggressive with female mousses when they are out looking for food. 3C). yes house mouse to have resources because they are on the look out for food so that means their resources are homes mainly because they will always find food. since they are nocturnal specie they can inhibit in close places. 3D). there isn't much of a bad impact for the native species since they mainly inhibit in hidden territories. They like to nest out in the wild but they have their own way of going in and out of their territory to prevent from being invaded by others. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/273137/house-mouse (Links to an external site.) http://www.columbia.edu/itc/cerc/danoff-burg/invasion_bio/inv_spp_summ/Mus_musculus.html (Links to an external site.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_mouse (Links to an external site.) Running Head: COTTONTAIL RABBIT COTTONTAIL RABBIT 2 Cottontail Rabbit Chenao Jiang 09/13/2014 Native species refers to animal or plant species thriving in the ecology they evolved from, where exotic species refers to plant or animal species living outside their ecological zone, which existence in the present ecology is as a result of human activity. Ecology on the other hand refers to interactions between the living organisms and their environment. This means that, there is usually a change in interaction when a new species is introduced in a new ecological system. The change in interaction affects both the introduced species and the indigenous species. The term exotic species culminates from European exploration, colonization and settlement outside their continent. They carried with them plants and animals originally thriving in their original homeland to their new settlement areas. This paper focuses on animal species that can be found from Canada to South America and, in the United States, from the East Coast to the Great Plains and New England. Cottontail r.
