Create a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting rapid and gradual mass extinction (make sure to include examples of each)
Is extinction normal? Explain. What is NOT normal about it now? Why is the loss of biodiversity so crucial to Earth and us?
Which of the following is believed to be common among all mass extinction events? the type of event that causes the extinction the number of species that went extinct a significant change in the global climate the type of species that went extinct
True or false: Adaptive radiation can itself set conditions for mass extinction
Guilds describe? A). Species that partition the same resource B). Species which compete for the same resource C). Species that are members of the same taxonomic group D). Species with similar niches living in separate communities
How does extirpation differ from extinction? Group of answer choices Extinction and extirpation are the same thing. Extirpation is the loss of a single population, while extinction is the loss of an entire species. Extinction only happens during a mass extinction. Extinction is the loss of a single population, while extirpation is the loss of an entire species.
What is the relationship between extinction, its impact on biodiversity, and ecosystems? When a species becomes extinct, the vacancy of that species allows another species to invade and transform the ecosystem so there is no longer biodiversity, which allows the ecosystem to flourish. The extinction of plants and animals leaves a vacancy in the biodiversity of the ecosystem, which can cause the ecosystem to collapse. The extinct plants and animals can come back as a different species, creating more biodiversity within the ecosystem. The extinction of plants and animals does not have an impact on the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
Paleomagnetic reversals cause mass extinctions when they occur. Group of answer choices True False
Which of the following are causes or consequences of an extinction vortex? Question 71 options: A population is greatly affected by genetic drift All of the above A population experiences inbreeding A population bottleneck drastically reduces the size of the gene pool The average fitness of the population declin
Identify a species that your group thinks is ok to drive to extinction and justify the reasons for this decision. Can you anticipate any consequences of losing this species from the Earth?
When a new habitat is first exploited by a species, we expect to see rapid diversification of many new species. This is called • punctuated equilibria • adaptive radiation•explosive adaptation• mass speciation
what does it mean if the growth rate is 0.090, probability of extinction is 0.00, mean population is 240, and genetic diversity is 92? Please explain how they relate with each other.
