many endemic species areendangered, making them particularlyvulnerabletoextinction. Many endemic species live withinbiodiversityhot spots—that is, regions that are characterized by more than 1,500 species of endemicvascular plantsand that have lost at least 70 percent of their original natural vegetation...
The Asian and African elephants are endemic species of their respective continents but are also relics of a larger number of elephant species (e.g., wooly mammoth), that once occupied additional regions of Earth. What defines an endemic species? Endemic species are plants, animals, and diseases...
Endangered species, any species that is at risk of extinction because of a sudden rapid decrease in its population or a loss of its critical habitat. Previously, any species of plant or animal that was threatened with extinction could be called an endang
题目Many animals and plants are endangered in the world today.These endangered species are threatened with becoming extinct,meaning they will no longer exist on Earth.Examples include the Cuban Macaw and the Sri Lankan Legume Tree.Illegal hunting,and collecting of the Macaw bir...

Natural selection is the engine that drivesevolution. The individual organisms with the variation best suited to survive in their particular circumstances have a greater chance of passing that trait on to the next generation. But plants and animals interact in very complex ways with other organisms ...
maintained by the National Park Service and the Nature Conservancy. Hundreds of plant species bloom among the prairie grasses. Roots of this "sea of grass" sink deep into the fertile soil, enabling the plants to survive fire and drought. Wildlife ranging from coyotes, bobcats and badgers, to...
At the species level, weeds have been primarily responsible for the presumed extinction of four Australian plant species and have the potential to force many more native plants to extinction. We discuss two known examples and describe research in progress on several endangered native plant species ...
