With the aid of scientists‚ we can have a clear idea of how and why these species are a threat to our ecosystem and how we can regulate the adverse effect. The biological factors from the text‚ “Biology Today and Tomorrow Without Physiology mentions‚ “transformative history and adjustment of the different species in a group can likewise impact group structure” (Starr‚ Evers‚ & Starr‚ 2011). If these species have no prey to keep them controlled‚ then
