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

Both Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck developed their own theories. First‚ Lamarck developed the Theory of Inheritance.

Lamarck thought living organisms developed characteristics to better suit their environment‚ such as the giraffe‚ that he assumed grew a larger neck in
