This article is about the discovery of new salamander species found in Thailand. It explains that we used to think that there was only one urodelan species in Thailand, but that it actually turned out to be comprised of three different species. A question this raises would be about just how many species we still haven't discovered yet. A title for an article about this might be "Salamanders: Hiding Right Under Our Noses," and it could be about the conservation statuses of salamanders around the world.

This article focuses on parasite-carrying invasive tick species, and how they have evolved to be resistant against pesticides. It also talks about how we're learning to spot pesticide-resistant ticks and how we're starting to deal with them. A question I might have about this article would be about just how fast ticks are able to gain resistance against pesticides. A title for an article about it could be "Tenacious as a tick," focusing on different tick species and they're contributions and negative effects on the ecosystem.

This is an article that is a comprehensive molecular map of a plant, which is very useful in studying ecology since you have to understand the plants to learn about how they interact with the ecosystem. A question about this article could be about just how we could use this to better understand plants, and how we could apply it. A title for this article would be "A very, very close look at plants," and it could be about the smaller details involved in this article.

In this article, it focuses on how we are currently dealing with invasive species and what they're doing to our environment and our crops. This focuses on the Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in particular. A question I have about this article is over just how many invasive species are currently making a negative impact on us without anyone even knowing. A title for it could be "How much could a bug possibly eat?" and it could be about the devastation invasive species have caused to crops.

This article is about the ways animals can influence fires, but also the way we use animals to prevent them. A question I have about this article is about when exactly we discovered that animals are contributing to fires, and how. A title for an article about this would be "We Didn't Start The Fire. No, Seriously, We Didn't" and it could focus on these animals that contribute to fires.

I love all of your article title ideas! Which of these topics do you think you're most interested in writing about? I think it would be cool if you did an article about how animals start fires because I never knew that animals contributed to that. Very well researched and written!

[Andrew Price]

Is there a way on how you could give further clarification on how animals contribute to fires? As to me I find it hard they can start one themselves without humans themselves interfering in some way such as leaving things that could do such.

Your topics and ideas are very interesting. I would love to know more about the Animals and how they contribute to fire as well. What is/are your favorite animal(s)?

So is your forum about invasive species? Or just insects? A little confused on the overall topic, but the articles seem interesting!
