- Is it possible that some species function together as an integrated, holistic community, whereas other species at the same locality behave more individualistically? If so, what factors might determine which species function in which way?arrow_forwardBob Davison describes the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as an effective tool for conserving biological diversity. What is his rationale for the value of focusing on individual species? The public is not concerned about the economic costs of individual species recovery. A focus on individual species is cheaper than protecting entire ecosystems. Establishing public empathy for charismatic species provides an opportunity to educate people about lesser-known species. The public tends to value intact ecosystems over particular plant and animal species.arrow_forwardList the six levels of ecological organization.arrow_forward
