This unit investigates the delicate balance of an ecosystem through the disruptive effects of an invasive species.  Students look at various case studies of different invasives, most of which affect ecosystems in Michigan.  The great Lakes provide a backdrop for an exploration of food webs, predator-prey interactions, and trophic levels through the lens of the changes caused by the introduction of an invasive species.
