Homework 6 – Siovhan Tan Referring to examples‚ discuss the threats to biodiversity hotspots and why these threats could prove critical (15 marks) Biodiversity hotspots are areas in the natural environment that contain some of the biggest concentration of flora and fauna in the world‚ often containing many rare and endangered species. However many of these ecosystems are threatened by the likes of climate change‚ increased urbanisation/land use and tourism developments which can prove critical

species will develop different methods of adaptation that enable them to survive in any particular niche. In summary‚ natural selection will drive the adaptation of any given population to fit the number of available niches‚ and this will create the biodiversity that is present in nature. Explain Continued evolution requires a diverse population‚ which provides the raw material on which natural selection can act. As natural selection is the accumulation of random‚ small genetic changes‚ the chances

Teen pregnancy is occurring everywhere. Profanity has greatly increased in the entertainment industry. Dances are becoming more vulgar and are teaching small children bad habits. Out-of-wedlock births now seem to be common and‚ therefore‚ less frowned upon than before. One of the most important challenges to humanity today is obviously our drastic decline in morality.

Woodlands have more biodiversity than any other habitat in Britain. Trees are home to a huge number of other plants‚ insects‚ fungi‚ mosses‚ litchins‚ birds and small animals‚ which all provide food for other animals higher up the food chain. Protecting our woods is a great way to protect wildlife. So why do we encourage people to chop down trees and burn them? And how can a Scout groups and two abseilers help?

Introduction Biodiversity also known as biological diversity is the existence of a wide variety of species (species diversity) or other taxa of plants‚ animals‚ and micro organisms in a natural community or habitat‚ or of communities within a particular environment (ecological diversity) or of a genetic variation within a specie (genetic diversity). (Oxford dictionary of biology). The root of concern for conserving biodiversity are increased loss of species‚ increased rates of deforestation and

Mutualism Mutualism is a biological interaction between two organisms. Most mutualisms are facultative‚ meaning the partners can successfully live apart. However‚ some mutualisms are so intimate that the interacting species can no longer live without each other; they have a mutually obligate interdependence. Examples: As the bee or butterfly sips
