Summary Introduction

To review:

The concepts from population genetics, metapopulation dynamics, and beta-diversity that apply to the design of nature preserves and whether they suggest a different ideal design for nature preserves or not.

Introduction:

The maintenance and preservation of biodiversity by interdisciplinary science are known as conservation biology. The primary tool used by the scientists in preserving the nature is systematics and knowledge of biodiversity.

Based on Q10 (image), what are potential problems (or limitations) with basing the choice of grassland patches to be prioritised for conservation based only on the concepts described by island biogeography (only use image as reference for question)
In this class, we have discussed how populations form communities to create ecosystems and learn that comparing different communities could be done simply by determining species richness or species diversity.  But to fully explore an ecosystem, we have to discuss the major components of its biodiversity.  What are the major components of biodiversity and what is the importance of biodiversity?
Using the meta-community concept, is it still possible to conserve species (communities) that are greatly affected by habitat fragmentation? Suggest one possible way to effectively conserve declining diversity.
