Welcome to Conservation Biology Bio 125 Dr. Cynthia Dott, Biology; 752 Berndt Hall

What is Conservation Biology?  Applied, interdisciplinary science developed in response to rapid modern loss of species & habitats.  3 goals: oDocument diversity of organisms on Earth oStudy human impact on species and habitats oDevelop methods to preserve those species and their habitats

Conservation Biology…. The study of Biological Diversity  What is Biological Diversity (shortened to “Biodiversity”)  Nothing less than the astounding variety of life forms found on Earth:

Escherichia coli bacteria

Mycobacterium chelonae

Bacteria Archaebacteria ProtistsPlants Fungi Animals

Levels of Biological Diversity – Diversity at different scales: 1) Genetic Diversity

2) Species Diversity 3) Habitat Diversity

What makes the Earth such an amazing place to live? In part, it is the incredible diversity of organisms we share it with.

Syllabus Overview The semester will be built around these 4 questions about Biodiversity:

Biological Diversity:  What is it?  How did it get here?  What threatens it today?  How can we preserve it, as much as possible?
