You work for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which wants to maintain populations of endangered fish in the Colorado River. As a wildlife manager, you know that the population of pike minnow is threatened by non-native trout. How might you increase pike minnow populations? Brainstorm two potential ideas, and explain how each plan targets r, K, ?, or ?.

Please write down your response after reading the paragraphs. (At least 5 sentences long. 150-200 words)

This is an intriguing technology that definitely has potential in terms of medical experiments. I think technology and human innovation go hand-in-hand, meaning that human innovation gets better as technology improves. For example, modern surgery saves lives everyday and is an example of human innovation that would not be as successful without technological development; the instruments (i.e. MRI Scans, Heartbeat monitors, etc) used during surgery are pieces of technology that have had immense impact on modern medical practices. I think things like organs on chips is a technology that can help human innovation by giving us better understandings of what affects certain cells and how they react. I do think that the line between technology and human innovation is shrinking because of how much they depend on the other.

Yes, I believe human innovation is becoming more and more dependent on technology. Human innovation is a factor that relies on technological development to grow; especially today. Technology builds on older technology so, the more advancements made in technology, the more human innovation can occur. I think human innovation has always been dependent on technological developments. I think a question in the future is if human innovation can keep up with the rapid development of technology.
