 Introduced species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other terms that are used sometimes interchangeably (having the same or similar meanings) with introduced are acclimatized, adventive, alien, bioinvasive, exotic, escaped, feral, foreign, invasive, non-native, naturalized, immigrant, non-indigenous, and xenobiotic.
The tendency of rails in particular to evolve flightless forms on islands has led to the disproportionate number of extinctions in that family.
The field of island restoration has developed as a field of conservation biology and ecological restoration, a great deal of which deals with the eradication of introduced species.

 Why has there been no contact with Aliens?
Alien and human life processes may be so fundamentally strange to us as to make it difficult for humans even to recognize aliens as life forms.
Perhaps aliens are in contact with a small minority of humans but for altruistic or at least non-sinister purposes they want to stay concealed from the general population.
Special effects of malignant alien warships give a kind of adrenaline rush that could never be produced by a more realistic portrayal of scientists trying to decode alien communications or philosophers musing over the possible thought processes and intentions of species evolving from a different natural history than ours.

 Alien
In biology, an alien refers to an organism that is introduced into a foreign locale and subsequently becomes naturalized, as in the term alien species.
The introduction of alien species must therefore be prevented as much as possible.
For example, many marine species travel thousands of kilometers in the ballast water of ocean vessels, which are emptied at the destination port, leaving alien organisms in a place foreign to their species.

 Aliens 2003 - QUOTE OF THE WEEK - ALIENS - I like to keep this handy, for close encounters - Hicks
The alien egg is a casing in which the facehugger embryo grows into it's new-born form, much like a human egg cell.It will mature for a certain period of time (which is unknown) and will then hatch, producing the facehugger and then rots.
This form of the Alien is the most common, usually derived from a standard facehugger and a human host.
This alien is a hybrid of the usual DNA of this particualr xenomorph.

These alien bases would be constructed under Indian reservations in the 4 corners area of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado, and 1 would be constructed in Nevada in the area known as S-4 located approximately 7 miles south of the western border of Area 51, known as Dreamland.
A major finding of the alien study was that the public could not be told as it was believed that this would most certainly lead to economic collapse, collapse of the religious structure, and national panic which would lead into anarchy.

All aliens with the exception of the queen will take some traits frome the host it is born from.
The egg also posses the ability to detect a potential host when it is in proximity, the fact that it can distinguish between a host and another alien rules out the possibility of motion detecting.It is believed that like the alien the egg itself has the to sense neural electric activity.

 Dual Lens - Alien   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Alien offers a quite different vision of the future than a lot of the popular science fiction films and TV that came before it.
The full-grown version of the alien similarly combines a skinny, skeletal body and external ribcage with a phallic head and tail, which it moves between Lambert’s (Veronica Cartwright) legs before piercing her back.
In this sense the world of Alien is a technological dystopia, although a far subtler one than the traditional dystopian vision of say, 1984, where the fact that one’s life and freedom rests upon the will of arbitrary authority is made abundantly clear.

 Looking behind the alien/military abduction agenda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Alien abductees, such as Betty Andreason report sometimes that they were put inside a tube filled with liquid for the compensation of large gravity forces during high UFO acceleration periods.
The activity of this military task force, which seems to be interested in particular alien abductees, would be a logical consequence if their leaders think that some alien abductions are real.
If one speculates that a core of the alien abduction phenomenon is indeed real, the same people who are behind these projects would have an interest in alien biology/genetics and mind control procedures.

This hybrid shows mixed emotional reactions much like the Newborn, but for some unknown reason she appears to be more in control of her actions.
Ripley 8, like all other Aliens, has highly corrosive blood whichs means her epidermis must be very similar to that of the Xenomorph.
Due to her strong epidermis, she is able to withstand extremely harsh conditions.

 Dual Lens - Alien   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Alien is the first movie I remember seeing in an indoor movie theater—although my parents swear the first was actually Peter Pan—and its director, Ridley Scott, became the first name I recognized in film.
The Alien that will be released in theaters this month is not the film I saw when I was five, and that’s possibly scarier than the film itself.
Certainly the impact of a movie like "Alien" is completely different on DVD than shown on a large screen in 70mm which is how I saw it.

 Occam\'s Razor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The hypothesis that "the tree was knocked over by marauding 200 meter tall space aliens" requires several additional assumptions (concerning the very existence of aliens, their ability and desire to travel interstellar distances and the alien biology that allows them to be 200 meters tall in terrestrial gravity) and is therefore less preferable.
Biologists or philosophers of biology use Occam's Razor in either of two contexts both in evolutionary biology: the units of selection controversy and Systematics.
Systematics is the branch of biology that attempts to establish genealogical relationships among organisms.

 We Come In Peace — NOT!
While Taylor admits that predicting alien offensive capabilities can be a little difficult, the book covers the strategies, tactics and contemporary weaponry that humankind could employ if an alien invasion did occur.
We won’t be able to rely on the aliens catching a dose of flu warns Taylor, as the War of the Worlds climax merely highlights the chasm between sci-fi and reality.
However, an alien attack may have a silver lining, given that there’s nothing like a common enemy to forge alliances between previously belligerent nations.

I think a hard shelled, large fl facehugger that can lay a queen egg and a guardian egg is an excellent idea in that it tries to guarantee the survival of the alien race if the queen's life becomes endangered.
For example, there cannot be a spider alien or a praying mantis alien.
The Alien that erupts would take on the dna of the host but still have the same basic design of fl and slimy and nasty, but would resemble the form of its host.

Scientists crossed a new frontier in "exo-planet" research just last year when, using the Hubble Space Telescope, they detected sodium in the atmosphere of a large alien world orbiting the star HD 209458.
We know the answers for our own world, but predicting how an alien biology might interact with its atmosphere is no simple matter.
Alien life might forgo sunlight and depend instead on the geothermal energy in hydrogen and sulfur compounds emitted from the planet's interior, much like the deep-sea vent ecosystems here on Earth.

 Reconstruction 5.4 (Fall 2005)
A number of recent eco/feminist sf texts utilize the figure of the alien as a means of interrogating notions of the “human,” “non-human” and our definitions of “life itself.” In these texts, confrontations between human and other are ripe with possibilities for denaturalizing the boundaries and allegiances which infuse traditional depictions of the human/non-human dichotomy.
These visions of alien nature/s and alienated humans/cultures make feminist science fictions very useful tools in re-thinking the contested terrain of “nature” as it is complexly and paradoxically mapped out by both the life sciences and humanities.
Such alien biologies articulate challenges to the ways we have traditionally defined “nature,” and human and non-human “life.” Many eco/feminist sf texts posit alien biosciences and technologies that operate on very different premises, and proceed from rather different configurations of naturecultures.
