Explain why biodiversity is important for the survival of species, including humans. How could the destruction of the rainforest, and its biodiversity, affect people living in the United States? What are three reasons for trying to ...
Mora, C., R. Danovaro, and M. Loreau. 2014. Alternative hypotheses to explain why biodiversity‐ ecosystem functioning relationships are concave‐up in some natural ecosystems but concave‐down in manipulative experiments. Scientific ...
Explain why it is important that meiosis produces haploid gametes instead of diploid gametes. (a) How can one use meiotic recombination to determine the genetic distance between genes? (b) When does the cross-over occur in meiosis? In meiosis why are the chromatids t...
That's whatone of the world's most important forests-Brazil'sAtlantic Forest-is now being called. Since colonization殖民地化)in the 16th century, the forest has beenreduced from over 1.1 million square kilometers to 0.143square kilometers. Now a new judgement of the place'sbiodiversity(生物...
Explain why it is important to determine the Rh of a pregnant woman? (a) What is the Rh factor in the body? (b) What is its importance? (c) Why is it significant for pregnant mothers? (d) How does it affect blood transfusions?
All the same, preserving wilderness for its own sake remains an important part of environmental protection, informed by concepts such as the ecosystem (the idea that many species depend on one another for survival) and biodiversity (Earth's dazzling range of different species, and the habitats ...
The relationship between plant productivity and species richness is one of the most debated and important issues in ecology. Ecologists have found numerous forms of this relationship and its underlying processes. However, theories and proposed drivers have been insufficient to completely explain the obser...
world are being threatened. There's nothing blurryabout the term “extinction vortex(旋涡)”, however.That's what one of the world's most important forests—Brazil's Atlantic Forest—is nowbeing called. It's difficult to figure out just how much this once expansive rainforest has beenchanged...
Explain how geological processes can affect biodiversity. What is biodiversity loss and why it is important? What are some factors that determine an ecosystem's biodiversity in an area? Why is this concept important to humans and how can a loss in biodiversity impact ...
Understanding the uneven distribution of biodiversity on Earth is one of the most fundamental goals in ecology and evolution. Numerous patterns of biodiversity distributions have been documented, but the obvious increase in species richness from the poles toward the equator known as the latitudinal diver...
