According to “Why Bee Extinction Would Mean the End of Humanity” written by Ishan Daftardar‚ Not only would humans be affected but animals a well. Cattles depend on alfalfa and lupins‚ both of which depend on insect pollination. No bees‚ means no milk or meat. The extinction of bees would also affect our fuel and clothing. Canola‚ responsible for fuel and cooking oil‚ needs bee pollination. We need

The Role of Extinction in Evolution In contrast to the opposite phenomenon‚ speciation. This is surprising in view of the special importance Darwin attached to extinction‚ and because the number of species extinctions in the history of life is almost the same as the number of originations; present-day biodiversity is the result of a trivial surplus of originations‚ cumulated over millions of years. For an evolutionary biologist to ignore extinction is probably as foolhardy as for a demographer

(JEFFREY MOUSSAIEFF MASSON & SUSAN MCCARTHY‚ When Elephants Weep) Now a days is common to listen that more and more kind of animals are going to be part of a long list of species in extinction called “the red list”‚ When a animal is endangered it means that they are disappearing fast or have a very small population. Every day we can see in the media the great campaign that is carried out to preserve these animals‚ as for example: they

Carl Zimmer discusses the idea of bringing back a species from extinction throughout his essay. With examples such as the Pyrenean ibex‚ mammoths‚ passenger pigeons‚ and gastric brooding frogs‚ he discusses how technology and science have advanced to the point that de-extinction is close to being a reality. Zimmer then shifts to the benefits and problems that could arise if we are able to revive an extinct species. As a result‚ Zimmer raises the question that should we bring back an extinct species

The Destruction of Biodiversity Why should you care? You should care‚ because there exists a chain to which all life is linked. Humans stand not apart‚ and there is no beginning or end. Extinction is like a trickling stream that grows to threaten riverbanks before drowning the world with oceans. We are foolish and naïve to assume that our creek can be maintained as we constantly introduce new species into foreign ecosystems‚ and destroy biodiversity with the detrimental effects of human integration

preventing animal extinction is one of the most important and serious problems in the world today. Do you know some animals are disappearing year by year. According to an Internet article‚ 19817 animals are designated as an endangered species. Besides that 63837 species of animal are also registered on Red Book. It means the ecological food chain is breaking‚ so we have to think about how to prevent animal extinction. This essay will explain why people have to know how to prevent animal extinction because

gives feedback on the topic of de-extinction. According to Zimmer‚ de-extinction is defined as‚ “The notion of bringing vanished species back to life”‚ and he elaborates the pros and cons of actually completing this ordeal (31). Reading the differentiating views on the subject is very interesting‚ and caused me to think more and more as to if bringing back the extinct species is for the good or bad of our world. But as a firm believer in Christianity‚ I feel de-extinction is a sensitive subject and is

ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY (Chapter 9) 1. Review the Key Questions and Concepts for this chapter on p. 184. What factors led to the premature extinction of the passenger pigeon in the United States? Factors that led to the premature extinction of the passenger pigeon are uncontrolled commercial hunting and habitat loss. Passenger pigeon in the 1858 became a big hunting business. Weapons like shotguns‚ traps and artilleries were used and even the burning of sulfur in suffocating the birds. These threats

As a result‚ the rapid exhaustion of the Earth’s natural resources becomes the most important issue nowadays that will cause many consequences in nature. In a word‚ some of those bad effects that human activities cause to nature are change in climate‚ species extinction‚ and marine ecosystem damage. Body Climate change
