Invasive Species B/C

[Jaol]

My state test was also very easy. And, it wasn't only because I was prepared, it was because it had almost no effort put into it. We had 43 power point presentation questions which we had 1:30 to answer. Here were some of the questions:

Define Invasive Species.
Identify this organism based on common name (Shows that one obvious image of Mediterranean Fruit Fly)
Identify this organism based on common name (Shows Nutria)

I'm expecting a much more difficult test at nationals which will be good! I want a test that will help me to learn more!

I'm quite nervous for Invasive Species because I really want to medal in it. My team rarely wins a medal at the national competition and so I want to do us proud (I'm worried you're all going to beat me, to be honest ).

I do Invasive Species during the last time slot of the day. When do you guys go? (+ Jaol - Are you doing Picture This at nats?)

Yeah I am lol. I'm in the last timeslot for Pic This though.

Yeah I am lol. I'm in the last timeslot for Pic This though.

I thought that Avogadro wasn't open until approximately May 5th, though. How did you sign up???

Preliminary schedule from my coaches. They didn't sign up actually. Just to let us know when our events would be.

So heterostyly in flowers is a type of polymorphism right? Does anyone know where the suffix -styly comes from? I'm guessing the style of a flower, but I'm not sure. Double post. Yea.
EDIT: ^^Actually this doesn't make any sense because usually it's the anthers position that is changed.

Scioly this season is over for me, but Im still studying.

Anyone have a fast way to identify the seeds of plants? It trips me up everytime.

I'm actually studying that right now. I'll try to let you know in a week.

Can you hear me now?
Raging at Macs stupidness.
Copy and paste geez.
This Haiku was dedicated to how Macs have to actually save pictures and then insert them into a file rather than Right clicking and copy pasting. So user-unfriendly.

Thank you so much! On another note, most of the seeds of plants look awfully similar, even when magnified.

In addition, I've seen a test from a highly competitive invitational in which the students actually had to identify a species that was a biological control/vector of an invasive.
Is this allowed? It has the potential to make tests a lot harder...

Yeah why not? It makes sense. Was it Nitidulidae? That's pretty common.

It was a species of bamboo--lucky bamboo. It was a vector of an invasive, apparently.
