2.1-2.2 Vocab

Question 1

What does higher biodiversity lead too?

Answer 1

High ecosystem/ pop. health; great complexoty; less likly to naturally be distrubed

Question 2

Types of diveristy

Answer 2

Habitat Diversity
Species Diversity ( kinds)

Question 3

Habitat diversity

Answer 3

The number of diff. habitats available in a given area

Question 4

Species Diversity (A)

Answer 4

The number of diff. species in an ecosystem and the balance or evenness of the pop. sizes of all species in the ecosystem

Question 5

Species Diversity (B)

Answer 5

How different the genes (genomes) are of individuals within a population (group of the same species)

Question 6

Higer species diversity

Answer 6

Higher ecosystems resilience

Question 7

What are the requirements to become a hotspot

Answer 7

At least 1,500 vascular plants as endemics - high percentage of plant life found nowhere else on the planet
30% or less of its original natural vegetation - must be a “threatened” region

Question 8

Endemic species

Answer 8

Species only found in ONE place of the world

Question 9

Ecosystem service

Answer 9

Goods that come from natural resources or services/functions that ecosystems carry out that have measurable economic/financial value to humans

Question 10

Provision services

Answer 10

Goods/products directly provided to humans for sale/use by ecosystems
Touchable goods

Question 11

Regulating services

Answer 11

Benefits provided by ecosystem processes that moderate regulate natural condidtions like climate and air
INDIRECT service

Question 12

Supporting service

Answer 12

Natural ecosystems support porvesses we do ourselves makin them less costly and eager for us OR supporting services that benefits humans DIRECLY
We could do it but Nature does it for us

Question 13

Cultural services

Answer 13

Revenue from recreational activities (hunting/fishing licenses, park fees, tourism-related spending) & profits from scientific discoveries made in ecosystems (health/ag./educational knowledge)

Question 14

What causes of Low biodiversity

Answer 14

Isolation
Physical barrier
Low genetic diversity

Question 15

Isolation types

Answer 15

Temporal Isolation
Behavioral Isolation
Geographic Isolation
Reproductive Isolation

Question 16

Temporal Isolation

Answer 16

Member of a population that have different breeding times/seasons

Question 17

Behavioral Isolation

Answer 17

Members of the same population develop different behaviors that are not recognized by the rest

Question 18

Geographic Isolation

Answer 18

Physical separation of a group of individuals from others of the same species

Question 19

Reproductive Isolation

Answer 19

Males & females = no longer attracted
Reproductive organs don’t match (mechanical isolation)

Question 20

Physical Barrier

Answer 20

Development of new species when separated by physical barriers

Question 21

Allopatric

Answer 21

Species that occur with GEOGRAPHICAL isolation

Question 22

Sympatric

Answer 22

Evolution of one species into two NO GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION

Question 23

Low Genetic Diversty

Answer 23

Low amounts of gene flow, genetic drift, or mutations
Bottleneck events
Inbreeding depression
