• Outline the key distinguishing components of the physiology and life cycle of your chosen focal species, especially as relates to the thesis of your paper.
  • Distinguishing characteristicsshould be a combination of the features that clearly make it a member of its major taxonomic group, but also what sets it apart from other, related species.
• Especially, identify aspects of its life cycle and physiology (including reproductive ability) that, you here argue, seem to increase its likelihood to be a successful invasive species.
• This outline should present at least two aspects each for both physiology and life cycle that are either unique to this species or are relevant to its success as an invasive species
  • Include a sentence for each point which explains your choice and defends the relevance to your thesis.
  • This should be no longer than 150 words total.
  • cite all your sourcesLinks to an external site.!
