Of all the species that have existed on Earth 99 percent have gone extinct and even fewer make it into the fossil record and a very small fraction of those that fossilize are actually found even partially complete. Even if all of them did fossilize many would be too hard dig for many of them. And also it is highly unlikely that most would be found complete‚ due to the number of natural disasters and processes that have happened from the animal’s death to whenever it is discovered. Natural disasters

Earth is being harmed by human activity. Humans already made the earth being damaged and it is because of their own activity. In this essay I will describe how people can damaged the earth in more specific like in environment problems.

Kolbert wrote The Sixth Extinction as an attempt to explain and give examples of what seems to be a 6th extinction event currently happening in the modern world. We have discussed and learned about five other extinction events throughout this semester‚ and Kolbert pushes this 6th extinction event as a new rapid extinction predominantly caused by humans. One of the underlying causes of this 6th extinction event discussed in the book is the mass killing of both animals and humans. Another underlying cause

Invasive Species Benefits For centuries‚ invasive species have been recognized as a threat‚ torment‚ and even a nuisance to society. Invasive species are any species that is not native to a specific ecosystem (7). The majority of people believe that invasive species are harmful; causing economic damage‚ disrupting ecological food webs‚ and out competing native species for food and land. The benefits of invasive species are overlooked and tossed aside by many people. Invasive species have the ability

Invasive species pose a threat to the continued survival of the native plant life‚ at camp catalpa. The two most prevalent invasive species are the Bush Honeysuckle and the Roughleaf Dogwood. Several species have been negatively impacted by the continued presence of the invasive Bush Honeysuckle and Roughleaf Dogwood. The Bush Honeysuckle produces a toxin‚ which is released into the soil that inhibits the growth of other species. Bush Honeysuckle and Roughleaf Dogwood are shade tolerant species. There

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch‚ the arch still collapses without it. Similarly‚ an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed‚ even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass

No. There is evidence that many invasive species all over the world has also threatened the ecosystem. All organisms have the potential to become invasive

Keystone species play a large role in each ecosystem‚ they have the ability to alter their ecosystem or be the reason they completely collapse. Keystone species are the reason that many different species exist‚ these other species highly depend on the keystone species for survival‚ if a single keystone species were to go extinct‚ it is likely for other species populations to decrease. Other species benefit from keystone species in a variety of ways‚ such as food supply‚ shelter‚ or a water source
