Question
As a member of the community you are living in now and with the remaining diversity of organisms present in your place, identify organisms you think are nearing extinction/endangered or have low diversity. Afterwards, write the reasons or possible reasons for this. And lastly present a plan on how the community can work together in preserving and encouraging more variation in these organisms in the near future.

So instead they occupy different niches. Use these images and the information from lecture to explain what has happened to these species and why this change would be necessary.arrow_forwardAnswer the following: 1. What is your take on the value of biodiversity for health and medicine? What are the parameters to distinguish the good and bad ways of utilizing biodiversity in this context? 2. How do business and development affect biodiversity? 3. Why are the cultural tradition of the community important in consuming or using the goods sourced from biodiversity?arrow_forward
- Do a Travelogue Situation: You are conservation biologist working as a part time reporter In a local television station. You are assigned to make documentary slides that promote Philippine diversity. Your task is to create slides that will describe the causes and ettects of biodiversity loss in the country. You may also include the advantages of achieving high biodiversity to maintain the stability of an ecosystem. Your work will be evaluated according to organization, content, and accuracy of science concepts.arrow_forwardWrite a 2 page (minimum) report on an organism of your choice and its ecological relevance. Minimum of 2 peer-reviewed journal articles as sources for the information contained in your writing. Considerations for content: - adaptations, morphologies, or behaviors that are specific to your organism - taxonomic classification - how is your organism affected by abiotic factors (non-living things) - how is your organism affected by biotic factors (living thing) - what is the habitat range of your organism - describe the life history of your organism and make it relevant - if your organism went extinct, what would be the resultant effectarrow_forwardThe authors of the article state that the physical and chemical environment of marine habitats can affect all of the following, except: a:structure of communities. b:calcification rates. c:species ranges. d:aggressiveness of invasive species. article reference: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2023.1075228/full the link for the article is all i could include but ill post the name of the article as well.

- Choose the type of symbiotic relationships with their correct definitions. The choices are: parasitism, mutualism, commensalism and none of the above.Definitions: One species kept alive to benefit the other species Answer Both species benefit from forming a symbiotic relationship Answer Neither of the species benefit from forming a symbiotic relationship Answer While one species increases its survivability, the other species neither benefits nor suffers from the symbiotic relationship Answer One species benefits greatly while the other species dies Answerarrow_forward1) Which of the following defines the niche of a species? The role of a species in its community as well as the conditions it requires and the interactions it takes part in All populations of all species in some area The type of environment in which a species lives The number of species and their relative abundance within a community 2) Which of the following is an example of a biological factor that can affect community structure? Tropical regions support a high species diversity by receiving the most sunlight energy. The high temperatures of desert regions limit which species can live there. A plant species can live only in regions with a suitable level of rainfall. An insect herbivore inhibits the population growth of a tree species. 3)Which of the following prey defensive adaptations involves two or more prey species coming to resemble one another? Camouflage Startle displays…arrow_forwardChoose the type of symbiotic relationships with their correct definitions. The 4 options are: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism or none of the above.

- NOTE: The image you need to see in order to answer this question is attachedA developer owns the property encompassing the three habitats above. By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site Barrow_forwardHow do we save endangered species and who should be responsible for paying for this task?
