Chapter 10- Biodiversity Kraj Spring 2012

Biodiversity Short for “__________________________” Number and variety of ________________ species in an area 1.7 million known species, most insects Estimated over 10 million

Levels of Diversity Species diversity- All the differences between the populations of a species, _______________ species Ecosystem diversity- Variety of ______________, communities, and ecological processes within and between ecosystems Genetic diversity- Different _________________ contained within all members of a population (Gene pool)

Benefits of Biodiversity Species ___________ within food web Keystone species- Species ___________ to the functioning of the ecosystem Ex: _______________ and kelp beds Sea Otters protected…eat sea urchins…kelp beds regenerated. Larger populations with larger gene pools survive under pressure Bottleneck- As populations shrink, the gene pool does as well Increase in genetic disorders

Brown bear fishing for salmon Keystone Species Sea otter in a kelp bed Brown bear fishing for salmon

Benefits of Biodiversity Some species used for food, clothing, shelter, and ________________ ¼ of drugs derived from plants Almost all ___________ from fungi ____________________ or studied species represent potential products

Benefits of Biodiversity Most ___________ originated from a few areas of __________ biodiversity Hybrid- New crop variety from genetic __________________ __________________ can result from dependence on too few plants

Ethics, Aesthetics, and Recreation Species and ecosystems have the right to __________________ regardless of value Some cultures believe _________________ has a higher purpose Outdoor activities enhanced by nature _____________________________- Supports the conservation and sustainable development of ecologically unique areas

Current Extinctions ________________________________- many species extinct in a short time Dinosaurs, 65 million years ago 25% of all species by 2100 Species prone to extinction Not cockroaches and rats __________________________ populations Migrating species Those with large or special habitats ____________________________________________

Species Prone to Extinction _____________________________- Likely to become extinct __________________________- Declining population and in danger of becoming endangered

Major Extinction events Over Geological Time

Species Known to be Threatened or Extinct Worldwide

How Do Humans Cause Extinctions? _________________ and fragmentation 75% of extinctions Ex: Florida panther _________________ exotic species (non-native)-Not native to region Harvesting, hunting, and ______________ Passenger pigeons (early 1900s) American bison _________________ DDT and Bald Eagle

Areas of Critical Biodiversity ______________________________- Native to/found only in certain region Tropical Rain Forest A/B 7% of Earth’s surface ____________ of the world’s species ______________________________ and Coastal Ecosystems Fraction of marine environment with many species 60% threatened by humans

Areas of Critical Biodiversity Islands Distinct but limited species Ex: Hawaii and Honeycreepers _________________________________- Most threatened areas of high species diversity Biodiversity in the ________________ CA Floristic Province: 3, 488 native plants; 2,124 endemic sp; and 565 threatened/endangered Everglades, CA coast, Hawaii, Midwest prairies, Pacific NW forests

Biodiversity Hotspots

Saving Species One at a Time __________________ to return to wild. Ex: CA Condor 9 left in 1986 58 in wild/102 in captivity (2002) __________________ Genetic Material Germ plasm banks (reproductive cells) _______________, Aquariums, and Gardens Some species last hope Living museums More Study Needed Captive species may not reproduce or survive in wild Small pop. vulnerable to infectious disease and inbreeding

Preserving Habitats and Ecosystems Most effective way to save species-_________________________________ ___________________________ strategies Protect entire ecosystems Focus on ___________________________ More Study Needed Research species and ecosystems

Legal Protection for Species _________________ 1973-Endangered Species Act USFWS- list of endangered and threatened species; 983 in 2002

Legal Protection for Species USFWS must prepare a _______________ __________________________ Propose to restore or protect habitat Controversy between developers and conservationists ___________________________________ Protect one or more species across large areas of land through trade-offs or cooperative agreements

International Cooperation International Union for the ________________________of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Over 200 gov’t. agencies and 700 private organizations International Trade and _______________________ Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) Stopped slaughtering of African elephants _____________________ To preserve biodiversity and and ensure sustainable and fair use of genetic resources United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) in 1992. Private Conservation Efforts More effective World Wildlife Fund; The Nature Conservancy; Greenpeace International

Balancing Human Needs Protecting species often ________________ Some endangered species sources of ______________________ or income Not considered _____________________ due to a lack of understanding Understanding is key to ________________ species
