Question
Chapter 58.4, Problem 3LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The role of phylogenetic perspective in informing biodiversity conservation decisions.
Introduction: The phylogenetic trees are used to show the relationship between the species and the evolution of some characters. Its consideration in biodiversity has turned the focus on the need to protect biodiversity.

Explain why niche overlap may lead to character displacement
Habitat fragmentation can lead to:
a)The disappearance of the matrix due to decreased habitat heterogeneity
b) Changes in patch use by animals, with smaller patches leading increased size of home range or movement for many animals
c) Variation in microenvironment near the edge of the patch with negative consequences for diversity
Identify the differences between consumptive use valueand agricultural value of biodiversity.
