Intro Diversity

Genetic Diversity

Species Diversity

Ecosystem Diversity

The variety of a gene (alleles, chromosomes)

Variety and # of each species. Is easier to visibly discern as each species has its own niche or role in the ecosystem.

Variety of different ecosystems within an area.

Is measurable

The addition or loss of each can have negative consequences, and we work to preserve endangered species as well.

Includes both biotic and abiotic factors and interactions.

Taxonomy: Classification of organisms

  • organisms classified based on morphology (form and structure)

  • related organisms were placed in the same taxon (pl taxa).

Classification system:

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

King Philip Came Over For Grandma’s Soup

Binomial Nomeclature:

  • Biologists use the genus name followed by the species name

  • ex. Homo Sapiens, Felis catus, Ursus maritimus
