Outline Loss of Biodiversity Introduction I. By the show of hands‚ how many of you know what a biodiversity is? II. For those of you who do not know‚ a biodiversity is a variety of the humans and species that live on Earth. III. This is meaningful to you because I hope to speak for most of us when I say that I want my children and my grandchildren to experience the animals and wildlife we have today. IV. However‚ according to ourfutureplanet.org the rate of a loss of biodiversity is occurring

Declining Biodiversity Deanna Garrett ENV495 Jeanne Lambert May 6‚ 2013 Declining Biodiversity Biodiversity is important in ecosystems because every life form works together in order for them to function. When these ecosystems are disrupted or altered‚ or even lacks biodiversity‚ it poses major threats to all the life forms in it‚ whether it happens quickly or over a long period of time. These threats include atmospheric pollution‚ weather catastrophe‚ climate changes‚ or even man-made

species will develop different methods of adaptation that enable them to survive in any particular niche. In summary‚ natural selection will drive the adaptation of any given population to fit the number of available niches‚ and this will create the biodiversity that is present in nature. Explain Continued evolution requires a diverse population‚ which provides the raw material on which natural selection can act. As natural selection is the accumulation of random‚ small genetic changes‚ the chances

Introduction Biodiversity also known as biological diversity is the existence of a wide variety of species (species diversity) or other taxa of plants‚ animals‚ and micro organisms in a natural community or habitat‚ or of communities within a particular environment (ecological diversity) or of a genetic variation within a specie (genetic diversity). (Oxford dictionary of biology). The root of concern for conserving biodiversity are increased loss of species‚ increased rates of deforestation and

Mutualism Mutualism is a biological interaction between two organisms. Most mutualisms are facultative‚ meaning the partners can successfully live apart. However‚ some mutualisms are so intimate that the interacting species can no longer live without each other; they have a mutually obligate interdependence. Examples: As the bee or butterfly sips
