Please follow the attachment exactly.
For the fourth points mentioned in the order instruction I have attached it says Conservation Status. I would like to say that the conservation status for Kudzu is that they are causing danger to
other organism as they do not allow anything to live there They outcompete everything.
And for the fifth point which is Threats to the species, I would like you to state what is the damage that Kudzu do.
Citation direction is included in the order instruction file.

Species Account
Each student will turn in an account describing the life-history, distributions, and conservation status of a species of animal or plant. The choice of species is up to the student with the only
requirement being that the species is currently (or at least recently was) of some conservation concern. Species that have recently become extinct may also be used, but this likely would be
difficult due to a lack of information. Only one student can write about a species (i.e., only one grey wolf report) and reservations will be made on a first-come first-served basis.
The species account paper should be approximately 5 pages (double-spaced, 12 point font, 1” margins). This does not include literature cited or any maps, figures, or tables. I do not grade on
length rather quality.
The report should have the following sections:
Species description:
This would be what the species looks like: size, pelage color, external or skeletal characteristics. This also should include classification.
Species life-history:
This would include things such as diet, breeding season, litter size, pollinators, social structure, and anything else of interest that relates to how it makes a living
Geographic range and habitat:
This section would include the species’ current and historic geographic range and what habitats the species uses/requires
Conservation status:
In this section describe if the species is threatened or endangered, its CITIES status, and any other relevant statistics you can find
Threats to the species:
What are the most significant threats to the species? Hunting, habitat destruction etc.
Conservation actions:
What (if any) actions are underway to conserve the species
One could include other sections if they would like

Literature citations:
Information for your paper should come from the primary literature (peer-reviewed papers). We will talk about how to find papers in class. Every fact in your paper should have a citation. The
format for in-text and the literature cited section can be found below.
In text citations:
single author: (Smith 1990)
2 authors: (Smith and Jones 1990)
More than 2: (Smith et al 1990)

Once the text of the paper is finished you will provide the full citation as below. This should include the author(s) date, title, journal title, and volume and page numbers. Look in the
literature cited sections of the papers you use for guidance.

Refer to a recent issue of the journal Ecology for the proper format. Always double-check your citations! This is one of the most important parts of a paper and often has the most mistakes.

For this class, you will give a 12 minute presentation on your species. For the presentation, you will need a minimum of 7 Microsoft PowerPoint slides that include the sections listed above for
your paper. You certainly may have more than 10 slides, a good rule of thumb is 1 slide per minute of talk. The talk should present the majority of information that is in your paper.

Helpful Hints
Make a written draft or an outline of your talk and practice (as many times as possible) so that you will not have to rely on notes extensively during your talk. Practice will also allow you to
stay within the allotted time. DO NOT READ YOUR PAPER. The talk should be the same information but not all the same words.
Make sure you face the audience while talking. If you need to draw attention to a particular part of a slide, point to the screen with a laser pointer or stick and either raise your voice or turn
towards the audience to make sure you can be heard.
Keep the text on the slides simple, the audience is there to hear you not read slides.
Use a larger font and larger figure sizes than you think you need, it is better to be too large than too small and unreadable.
