Around the globe,some 902 specieshave been documented as extinct. The actual number is thought to be much higher because some are never formally identified, and many scientists warn the earth is in an "extinction crisis" with flora and fauna now disappearing at 1,000 times the historical rate...
How does a species become extinct? In the past a species would die off when it was unable to adapt to natural changes in its environment. In recent times, however, some species have become extinct because humans caused changes in the animal's environments.During the past 500 years, more th...
It is a natural process of animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaurs, dodos etc.). There is no reason why people should try to stop this from happening. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience....
Sadly,more species are going extinctevery year. It’s a horrifying problem for the biodiversity of our planet. Data-driven technologies like IoT and AI can help us study animals’ behavioral patterns and monitor animals without disrupting them. Rhino poaching in South Africa has increased from 13...
Biodiversity(生物多样性), or biological diversity, is a wide-ranging concept that covers all the different kinds of plant and animal species present on earth. Environmentalists believe that many millions of species exist. As all these living organisms are dependent on each ...

More species are joining the ranks of the extinct every year. Many scientists believe we are living through an episode of remarkably rapid extinction, on a scale that has been seen only five times in the last half a billion years.
Third, there is the possibility that the agnostids were parasites, living on and feeding off larger organisms. One reason that this seems possible is that there are many species of modern-day arthropods that exist as parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites. The agnostids might have lived ...
