根据第一段“According to a recent report published in Nature, the threats tigers face are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and above all, the widening of transportation networks.(根据最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一份报告,老虎面临的威胁是栖息地的丧失、非法狩猎,最重要的是,交通网络的扩大。)”可知,...
根据第三段中 “In India, where there are about 60 per cent of the world's wild tigers, the human population has grown by 50 per cent in the past 20 years.” (印度有世界上60%的野生老虎,而在过去20年 里,印度的老虎数量增长了50%。 )可知,世界上大多数野生老虎生活在印度。故选D项。 【...
Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the Anthropocene1,2, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central debate3,4,5,6. The ‘passive sampling’ hypothesis suggests that species are lost in proportion to their abundance and dist...
Habitat loss has also been found to lessen the number of large, specialist species, disrupt species interactions, reduce trophic chain length, diminish dispersal ability and breeding success, and alter predation rate, and components ofanimal behaviorrelated to success rates in foraging (Fahrig, 2003)...

The projected loss of millions of square kilometres of natural ecosystems to meet future demand for food, animal feed, fibre and bioenergy crops is likely to massively escalate threats to biodiversity. Reducing these threats requires a detailed knowledge
(IUCN). This is due to habitat fragmentation, owing to the loss of trees, which has made locomotion difficult for the species and has resulted in the loss of shelter, thus, making them vulnerable to poaching. The plantation at the periphery will provide livelihood opportunities to the people,...
Climate Change Causes Habitat Loss and Species Extinction Each species evolves to thrive in its own particular ecological niche – to live in a particular "home" with specific living conditions (including temperatures ranges and other plant and animal species). Some species are more adaptable than ...
