3 levels of biodiversity

Habitat biodiversity - A wide range of unique habitats within a biome

Species biodiversity - A high number of species

Species evenness – is each species evenly distributed?

Genetic biodiversity - One population contains a wide range of different genes, so the organisms have a variety of different traits.

Ways to lose biodiversity

Founder effect

Bottleneck effect

Habitat loss

Small, isolated islands

Human disturbances

Natural disturbances

Trophic cascades (like sharks and coral question)

Ways to increase biodiversity

Wildlife corridors / gene flow

Limiting human disturbances

Reintroducing predators and keystone species

Benefits of biodiversity

Resilience to disturbances

Difference between species richness and evenness

# data[].attributes.subject
Difference between species richness and evenness

# data[].attributes.body
Species richness is just the total number of different species in an area. It doesn't matter what the population size of each species is

Species evenness takes into account if the relative amount of these species is balanced. So there could be 3 total species, but 100 of one, 50 of one, and 2 of another, so species evenness would be low.

Examples of natural disturbances that Decrease biodiversity 

# data[].attributes.body
Examples of natural disturbances that impact biodiversity include forest fires, flood, tornadoes, volcanoes, and hurricanes. These disturbances can complete the wipe out of species or parts of populations for example forest fires can completely burn areas down to the initial stage of succession. It can also cause a bottleneck effect where species populations are dramatically decreased due to natural disaster.

Relationship between habitat fragmentation, biodiversity, and wildlife corridors

# data[].attributes.subject
Relationship between habitat fragmentation, biodiversity, and wildlife corridors

# data[].attributes.body
Habitat fragmentation has a low level of biodiversity because the areas are split up and resources cant be shared between the different fragments. However, the wildlife corridors are used to help increase biodiversity between these fragmentation's. This is because they allow for resources to travel between the fragments as well as organisms traveling between locations.

Importance of predators to producer biodiversity 

# data[].attributes.body
Predators regulate the environment, according to the Green World Hypothesis. They do this by keeping the balance of each trophic levels population in the community. With the absence of a predator trophic Cascade would occur and decrease producer biodiversity.

# data[].attributes.body
Bottleneck effect is when a random event removes all/most of the alleles and species in an environment, while founder effect is apart of the species move to a new area limiting genetic diversity in both "new" populations setting new genes for them both. and ultimatly individuals that underwent the founder effect have new characteristics then the original population. There similar in the way that both events result in a population decreasing population and decrease in genes.

How keystone species impact biodiversity.

# data[].attributes.body
Keystone species can positively affect their ecosystem by balancing the organisms under them so other organisms can exist. For example the Sea otters regulated the Sea urchins which would then prevent the urchins from eating all the kept. In the green world hypothesis it was proven that with a loss of a key stone species a tropic cascade would occur due to the fact that predators regulate the food chain.

# data[].attributes.subject
Relationship between habitat diversity and the evolution of specialists.

# data[].attributes.body
high habitat biodiversity results in more specialist species as there are more resources available for them

species become accustomed to a specific resource

when there is a low habitat biodiversity, there are not many specialist species as there is not a wide variety of different resources for them. Species are generalists since they need to be able to use a wide variety of resources
