Suppose a potential biological control agent was found to attack an indigenous Drosophila species in California, in quarantine laboratory screening work. The US Fish and Wildlife Service oppose release of the biocontrol agent because of this, suggesting that the risks are too great in terms of impacting an endemic species. What risk assessment options could you employ in further work to determine whether the biocontrol agent is safe to release? How would you explain the measurement of risk to the FWS and the public in general?

Brief summary of the ecological and biological requirments of the blepharisma species found in pound water. Where is the organism found? is it autotroph or heterotroph? is it a pathogen? if yes, for what organisms? is the organism single celled or colonial etc.(150 words) Describe similarity and dissimilarity between colonial protists(e.g algae) with multicellular protists(e.g kelp). speculate on how colonial aggregates of cells may have led to multicellulrity.
