Primary Post “The surrogate species approach is the most cost effective means for establishing national and global conservation priorities.” Conservationists are challenged with the problem of protecting a range of species at minimal costs. As such conservationists have to prioritize to help those in most need of assistance or trouble (Myers et al. 2000). Therefore‚ many conservationists have adopted the surrogate species approach as a shortcut to aid with the conservation priority decision (Caro

suggested to demonstrate the gradual transition from one species to another through a multitude of changes. In essence‚ the transitional fossils are the remains of the species that have gone extinct‚ and these species are represented on the phylogenetic tree. As reportedly most species go extinct‚ finding fossilised remains of them is virtually the only way of proving their one-time existence. However‚ only a very tiny fraction of species fossilise and can be found in fossil

concept - which‚ granted‚ is a big one. Biodiversity: Life‚ the world‚ the variation of life for the entire globe. It’s a big idea with a long history. Biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species‚ the product of four billion years of evolution. But the word “Biodiversity” itself is actually quite new. "Biodiversity" was coined as a contraction of "biological diversity" in 1985. Clever eh? And as politicians‚ scientists‚ and conservationists

as a single species or race‚ or as two‚ as three...or as sixty-three” (Darwin‚ 83). In The Descent of Man Darwin argues whether humans are one species or if the races of the world make up their own respective species. Darwin considers both the differences and similarities between races‚ and using both biological and social observations‚ he concludes that the different races put together make up one species--homo sepiens. When determining whether the separate races make up one species or not‚ Darwin

sub-family Papilionaceae and family Leguminoseae. The genus Cicer encompasses 43 species. Among them nine are annuals‚ 33 are perennial and one with unspecified life cycle. Of the 9 annual species‚ Cicer arietinum L. is the only cultivated species. Based on the morphological characteristics‚ life cycle and geographical distribution‚ Van der Maesen (1987) classified the Cicer genus into four sections. Eight annual species‚ namely C. arietinum‚ C. reticulatum‚ C. echinospermum‚ C. pinnatifidum‚ C. bijugum
