George Crum then decided to make fries that were really thin and would be hard to eat with a fork in a way of irritating the customer. He would also add more salt than usual. However, his plan didn’t succeed and instead the customer really enjoyed the potato chip and more customers started ordering the thin fries. In the 1900's, instead of just eating chips at restaurants, they began to be mass marketed for home consumption. The Mike-sell's Potato Chip Company was founded in 1910 and became known as the "oldest potato chip company in the U.S." Today the top three best selling brands of potato chips are Pringles, Ruffles, and Lay's.
The Europeans introduced the Americas to crops of wheat, barley, rice, and turnips, although these crops had little effect on the new world. When the Europeans introduced the Americas crops of white potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, and manioc to the old world; they experienced improved nutritional value diets, increase caloric intake, and population growth. The white potato and maize had the most dramatic effect on the old world; Southern Africa adopted maize as a staple and began to harvest it; helping to format trading posts there. The white potato began to thrive in Europe having the most significant effect on Ireland where it promoted a rapid population increase. Ireland became so dependent on the white potato that when a potato blight raved the crops, Ireland experienced widespread famine.
The issue of scarcity is that human’s wants are more or less unlimited. So, as consequence to an increase of immigrants in Australia, resources will become more scarce, and eventually, the resources we use for food will become absolutely scarce. This will become a concern globally, as Australia currently exports 60% of the food produced. From this, a global interdependence has been developed for such exports internationally and the monetary value it carries for Australia. Therefore, the economic problem will incur, causing an extreme decrease in the country’s GDP.
HE RABBITS ‘The Rabbits’ is an allegorical representation of colonisation, the European invasion of Australia. The story is told by the colonised. For starters, the front and back cover of the picture book is a very powerful image for readers to respond to. We see a huge ship with a pointed prow. At first readers can’t quite make out what the creatures with pin legs are but the title suggests that they are rabbits.
TOAD-ALLY OUT OF CONTROL By Samantha Mirelez Cane toads, not only are they ugly but they can also kill off your native species if eaten or exposed to their poison. So forget the myth of toads causing warts because cane toads can cause a lot more damage than that! The Cane Toad is an invasive species in Australia. The cane toad is the largest species in the family Bufonidae. They are heavily built, and weigh up an average to about 1.8kg.
Feral pigs are descendants of various species of these introduced pigs, which became feral. There is estimated to be 23 million of these feral animals Australia wide. They are mainly located within Queensland, and across the top of the Northern Territory. This essay will answer the questions of; how feral pigs affect the native organisms, how science is helping to reduce this species, how affective the treatments are is and how these methods impact the environmental and economical factors. Feral pigs have a lot of impact on native species, both animals and plants.
Most disturbing are the attacks on very young Lodgepole Pine as a lot of this volume has actually been reforested from previous cutting and contributes to the province’s sustained cut (AAC). The AAC is now threatened not only from losing mature volumes but also losing the successive regeneration that we have come to rely on for the future. On their own, the beetles can fly 1 or 2 kilometers (kms), but with the right wind currents can fly more than 100 kms, which explains their ability to cross the Rocky Mountains into Alberta. This is significant in terms of threat as it now becomes a National concern with the MPB has adapting to attacking the Jack pine forests that cover areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and
Ecosystems that are rich in diversity have a greater resilience to natural and human induced stress. The more successful a species is at regeneration and adaptation the less vulnerable it is to changes in its ecosystem. Likewise, as an ecosystem becomes simplified due to breakdown
Introduced species, which have been introduced to an area, are not considered a threat to the new environment, whereas invasive ones are always considered to be pests and harmful to the ecosystem in some way. ARS research includes studies of beneficial insects such as honey bees. Honey bees are the chief insect pollinator for more than 90 crops in the United States. They are vitally important to the farm economy of the nation and are also valued for the beeswax, honey, and other products they produce. Most honey bees in the United States are European bees, which were originally brought to this country by European colonists in the 1600s and 1700s.
Long-tailed macaques are considered as pest animal in the region. As a result of increased human population and deforestation to give way for human development, long-tailed macaques can be found scattered in groups at various places in human population such as in towns, temples, tourist lodges and roadsides, thus sharing the same habitat and food with humans. High level of interactions between human and long-tailed macaques in the same habituation leads to the conflict between the two primates, resulting in various ecological and safety problems among humans. Due to invasions of human in the previously was M. fascicularis habitat, agricultural
