Estimating populations and biodiversity Need to find another picture of elongate twig ant

Exotic species reduce beta diversity while invasive species reduce alpha diversity

Extreme Weather (Hurricanes, Freezes) Threats to insects Habitat Loss/Pérdida de Hábitat Extreme Weather (Hurricanes, Freezes) Climas Extremos (Huracanes, Olas de Frío) Predators/Depredadores

South Florida’s Pine Rocklands (An Endangered Ecosystem) Prior to development, there were about 185,000 acres of pine rockland in Miami-Dade County Today, only about 4,000 acres of pine rockland remain outside of Everglades National Park “Pine Rocklands Born from Fire”, a Miami-Dade County publication

Biodiversity Matters

Animals Wanted A recent worldwide analysis of crops showed that the absence of animal pollinators could greatly reduce the production of a number of valuable foods. Credit Source: Klein et al.,Proc. of the Royal Society, 2007.
