Questions

1. In relation to the introduction of EEI What is the Frankenstein effect?

a) The similarity that many IAS demonstrate in their behavior in relation to the aggressive nature of the monster.

b) The impact caused by IAS which, like Frankenstein's body parts, join together to act on the environment.

c) The negative impact that exotic species, introduced for a well-intentioned cause, cause in the environment.

d) The effect caused by IAS on the environment, which is as disproportionate as Frankenstein's body.

1. In relation to the introduction of EEI What is the Frankenstein effect? null

-------------------

2. Introgressive hybridization is:

a) A hybridization phenomenon between two taxa where the Genetics endowment of an exotic species eventually replaces the Genetics endowment of the native species.

b) A hybridization phenomenon between two taxa where the Genetics endowment of an alien species contaminates the genome of the native species as a virus causing its death.

c) A hybridization phenomenon between two taxa where the Genetics endowment of an exotic species produces the introgression of the reproductive capabilities of the native species.

d) A hybridization phenomenon between two taxa of the same invasive alien species, which makes it much more efficient, invasive and dangerous for native species.

2. Introgressive hybridization is: null

-------------------

3. The tiger mosquito "Aedes albopictus" is a great threat because:

a) It transmits very aggressive diseases such as influenza, measles or oral plague.

b) Transmits very aggressive diseases such as chikungunya, zika, yellow fever or dengue.

c) It is not really a great threat, it is a species of little relevance.

d) Causes a great nuisance among the population due to the loud buzzing of its wings.

3. The tiger mosquito "Aedes albopictus" is a great threat because: null

5. What is camalote? null

-------------------

6. Why are freshwater aquatic ecosystems particularly vulnerable?

a) Due to their aquatic condition, which makes them a sensitive environment.

b) For its capacity to communicate different ecosystems, from the high mountains to the seas.

c) Because of their distribution, forming wide networks that communicate different places.

d) Because of its fragility, its high sensitivity to changes and its condition as a receptor of terrestrial impacts.

6. Why are freshwater aquatic ecosystems particularly vulnerable? null

-------------------

7. The catfish is a fish that can reach a large size -somewhat less than 3 m-, a weight of almost 120 kg, which poses a threat to local biodiversity by:

a) Its predatory nature.

b) Its capacity to colonize the territory.

c) Its ecological flexibility that allows it to survive in adverse conditions.

d) Their capacity for disease transmission.

8. One of the parasites that has caused the most damage to biodiversity is the chytrid fungus, which has caused the extinction of many species of amphibians, but where does it originate from and who has transmitted the parasite?

a) Originating in the United States, through the cane toad 'Rhinella marina'.

b) Originating in Japan, through the Japanese tree frog 'Hyla japonica'.

c) Originates from South Africa, through the African clawed frog 'Xenopus laevis'.

d) Originating in Australia, through the cane toad 'Rhinella marina'.

-------------------

9. According to a study by Diagne et al. published in 2021, which group species has caused the greatest economic impact?

b) Cats and dogs, which have caused the extinction of many species.

c) Aedes mosquitoes as disease transmitters.

d) Argentine or Kramer's parrots, due to their impact on urban areas
