List two  biotic potential/environmental resistance factors that encouraged the growth of   the   invasive termites in New Orleans

Solution

The two possible factors that led to the growth of invasive termites in New Orelans are
1: Global trade along with climatic changes (global warming) and degradation of environment which in turn made the climate favorable for the growth of viable propagules of termites. Termites produce the secondary viable propagules which can be easily transported to any new area from their native range.
2: Economic growth and urbanization led to destruction of natural habitats of biodiversity. These disturbed sites are more likely to be invaded by invasive species such as termites which easily adapt themselves to the conditions prevailing in urban climate.
