Frequently Asked Questions

Does it mean that only native species are eligible to be included as Heritage Trees?

National Parks Board
Heritage Trees include both native and introduced species. Over the past decades, we have selectively evaluated and planted introduced species in our Garden City. They have contributed to the overall image of our Garden City and have become an integral part of our Garden City. Hence outstanding botanical specimens of introduced species, in addition to our own native species, are both eligible for inclusion as our Heritage Trees.

Which fire ants are the native species and how can I identify them?

Imported Fire Ant - FAQ

However, if you can see four tiny teeth on the mandible or jaw of a fire ants, it is S. invicta. Native species possess three teeth. Over East, Central and much of South Texas, the most common native fire ant, S. geminata, can be distinguished without examination of tiny details of anatomy.

You mentioned native plants. What do you mean by that?

SDNHM: Botany FAQs
Native plants are species that occur naturally in a region, not having been brought in -- either accidentally or on purpose -- by humans. There are many non-native (or "exotic" or "introduced") species that have spread into wild areas and grow freely there. These are called "naturalized" plants. In some cases they may be so aggressive that they crowd out native species, and may even threaten them with extinction.

What do you mean by native and introduced?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
In PLANTS, native means naturally occurring in the PLANTS Floristic Area (PFA) at the time of Columbus; introduced means arrival from some other part of the world since Columbus's time. Naturalized plants are introduced plants that now exist in the wild without assistance from humankind. At PLANTS we use the term introduced since it is more familiar to more people, and because it begins with a different letter than native does and that is convenient for data management purposes.

Why should we be concerned about studying our native species of ant-attacking phorid flies?

Imported Fire Ant - FAQ
Studies of flies, genus Pseudacteon, that live, reproduce, and thrive on host fire ants in North America can reveal much about details of phorid natural history. Understanding the biology of these temperate-zone phorids could provide important guidance for developing optimum methods for introducing phorids from South America which would attack the pest fire ant species.

does someone know if the conversion rate from co2 to trees vary with the different species of trees?

The Skakagrall: CO2/ tree planting FAQ
Obviously it would. Trees grow at different rates, to different sizes, so they must absorb different amounts of CO2. However I have never seen figures. Tree-planting schemes here in Britain have concentrated on indigenous broad-leaf deciduous species (generally good for the natural environment, wildlife etc.) rather than the faster growing conifers formerly preferred by the Forestry Commission.

What species of hardwood trees are you planting?

Costa Rica Real Estate FAQ
We advocate the use of a mix of native species, with some limited exotics where appropriate. Teak is one example of a very successful exotic, which we believe can be ecologically grown in Costa Rica. Our projections concerning the native species are less definite, due to the lack of historical plantation data. But we have many reasons to believe that these trees will eventually be as valuable, if not more so, than teak.

What does it mean if a diagnosis is not included in the DSM?

FAQs about DSM
It only means that, as of 1994, there was not sufficient data to justify its inclusion in the DSM-IV. Just because a category is not included in DSM-IV does not necessarily mean that it is invalid, or not worthy of being a focus of research or treatment. There are many ways diagnoses have ended up in the DSM. During the time of the publication of DSM-I and DSM-II (1952 and 1968 respectively), there was very little empirical data available about psychiatric disorders.

Does MySQL 5.1 have native support for SSL?

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
Most 5.1 binaries have support for SSL connections between the client and server. We can't currently build with the new YaSSL library everywhere, as it's still quite new and does not compile on all platforms yet. See Section 5.9.7, "Using Secure Connections". You can also tunnel a connection via SSH, if (for instance) if the client application doesn't support SSL connections. For an example, see Section 5.9.7.5, "Connecting to MySQL Remotely from Windows with SSH".
