9/15 APES Conservation Biology and Biodiversity

Serengeti is a

migration circle

Largest migration

2 million animals

Best way to incite support and stuff

EDUCATE STAKEHOLDERS

EDUCATE STAKEHOLDERS

if you have a project that is cutting through nautal environment

Migration routes can be blocked

Many animals would die from traffic collisions

Poachers have easier access to interior

Human development would be accelerated along edges of reserves

Biodiversity is a variety of life along ______ levels

all

Species are a set of organisms that can breed and have

Fertile offspring

Species richness describes

number

Eveness or relative abundance describes

difference between species

Species richness is number of species found in a community or

ecosystem

Species diversity is a measurement of species ______ combined with eveness

richness

genetic diversity includes differences in DNA comp among

individuals

pop with little genetic diversity are more likely to suffer _____________ and vulnerable to environmental change. Lacks ______ to adapt to new conditions

inbreeding depression, variants

ecosystem diversity

number + variety of ecosytems, communities, or habitat

Biodiversity is unevely

distributed

some groups of organisms include more species than others.

Insects are most diverse

Species richness generally increase as approaches equator

pattern = latitudinal gradient in species richness

why latidudinal species richness?

greater geographic area

More solar energy

Stability of tropical climates

lack of disruptive glacier events

Species diversity tends to increase in area with more diverse habitats, such as

ecotones

Structurally diverse habitats

like forests tend to be more biodiverse

1.8 million have been indentified

(species) I have no idea what is going on

Knowledge is incomplete because

most small (what was i writing in class when i did this????)
