Biological Control Base your answer to the question below on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. Officials OK Insect Release To Control Invasive Vine The U. S. federal government has approved the release of a non-indigenous (nonnative) insect on Guam and in the Northern Marianas to control the rapid spread of a vine that is covering forests like a blanket, the Saipan Tribune reports. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has given the green light to breed and release the Heteropsylla spinulosa insect, which eats the Mimosa dilotricha (diplotricha) vine. The fast-spreading plant is found in many Pacific Islands, but is particularly widespread in the Northern Marianas and on Guam. It usually kills the trees and shrubs that it covers. Officials will collect the insect from Pohnpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau and Australia. Source: "Officials OK Insect Release To Control Invasive Vine," 4/2/08, www. saipantribune. com Discuss the advantages of using the insect to control the rapid spread of the Mimosa diplotricha vine on Guam and the Northern Marianas. In your answer, be sure to: · State one possible way the Mimosa diplotricha vine kills trees and shrubs Identify one location from which the Heteropsylla spinulosa insect will be collected Explain why releasing the insect might be safer than spraying chemicals to kill the vine​
