Summary Introduction

To determine: The complication regarding biodiversity conservation raised due to the discrepancy between natural species extinction and human-mediated extinction.

Introduction: The conservation of biodiversity has become a crucial part of an ecosystem. Nature has developed in the way to sustain stability but now, nature’s diversity is at risk. The change in the climate and other factors affect the biodiversity that needs to conserve.

Consider an ecological network consisting of three interconnected habitats (A BCA). Ecologists want to model the occupancy dynamics of a particular species "Species" across these habitats over time using a discrete time discrete state stochastic process. State Space: State 0: Species X is absent from all habitats. State 1: Species X is present in Habitat A State 2 : Species X is present in Habitat B. State 3: Species X is present in Habitat C. State 4: Species X is present in Habitats A&B State 5: Species X is present in Habitats A&C. State 6: Species X is present in Habitats B&C. State 7: Species X is present in All Habitats. Transition Probabilities: Rule 1: The probability of colonizing an adjacent habitat is 0.2. Rule 2: The probability of extinction from a habitat is 0.15. Rule 3: The probability of recolonization of a random habitat is 0.1 A) Draw a schematic diagram of the Markov Process illustrating states and transitions. Define the transition rate matrix forthis discrete time…
The Ministry of the Environment (MMA) asks you to evaluate the effect of anthropogenic activity on the biodiversity of mammals in the foothills of the Central Zone in the last 20 years, which is known to be associated with significant habitat fragmentation. .Based on this information:a) Indicate 2 indicators of diversity indicating the change that you would expect to observe in them between the years 2000 and 2020. Give reasons for your answer.b) Draw the rarefaction curves that you would expect to obtain for the community in the study area in the year 2000 and in the year 2020.c) Indicate and explain 2 effects that you would expect to find on mammalian biodiversity by the year 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Which of the following is a conclusion drawn by the authors from the results of this study?   Temperate marine invertebrate species are outcompeting endemic species which will soon become extinct in the surveyed areas.   Tropical marine invertebrate species did replace temperate species from 1982 to 2021 in the surveyed areas.   Tropical marine invertebrate species did not replace temperate species from 1982 to 2021 in the surveyed areas.   The temperate marine invertebrate species density and richness will recover with sufficient monitoring and resources.   Article Reference:   Responses of intertidal invertebrates to rising sea surface temperatures in the southeastern Indian Ocean By: Fred E. Wells
