Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of isolated small reserves on the genetic diversity of endangered species.

Introduction:

Genetic diversity gives special characteristics to the species, make them unique, genetic diversity is the reason species adapt and survive in the harsh conditions. The isolated Small reserve has a small population of many species and area, due to a reduction in population and absence of gene flow can lead to reductions in the genetic diversity of endangered species, reduced genetic diversity can lead to species extinction and reduction in reproduction.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Effects of genetic diversity on the species when small reserves are connected with wildlife corridors.

Introduction:

Genetic diversity gives special characteristics to the species, make them unique, genetic diversity is the reason species adapt and survive in the harsh conditions. The isolated Small reserve has a small area, human’s activity is not allowed there. Wildlife corridors allow the movement of species in a protective manner from one place to another. Generally, small population lose genetic diversity easily through genetic drift but wildlife corridors help them to migrate from one place to another place which helps species to reduce the genetic drift and maintain genetic diversity

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is/are consistent with the Intermediate disturbance hypothesis? Species diversity is maximized in areas that experience high levels of disturbance Areas with low levels of disturbance will be dominated by K selected species Decades of suppression in California has likely increased diversity in our national forests Areas with intermediate levels of disturbance will have the lowest levels of diversity
What is the impact of invasive aquatic species to the genetic diversity of wild species?
What is the relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession?         A pioneer species is an invasive species that causes areas to experience primary succession.          There is not a relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession. The pioneer species only occurs in areas of secondary succession.         A pioneer species is important in an area of primary succession because it can grow and thrive in areas where most other species cannot.          A pioneer species only inhabits areas of primary succession.
