Document Summary
Lecture 12: biodiversity, extinction, and conservation: o. wilson early founder of biodiversity science. E. g. , logged tropical forest in amazonia beef for burgers! We really need to know how plants like this deal with habitat fragmentation all over the province. E. g. , small population of trillium surviving urban development. What are the consequences of small population size. Loss of biodiversity: global warming and climate change. 2: environmental pollution, human famine biological problem because we are a species , spread of infectious diseases particular with globalization and movement of people around the world, human population growth it"s all about demography. Longest direct measurements of co2 in the atmosphere. Increase in co2 a result of the burning of fossil fuels. Plots change as we go through to time. We don"t know if the response is because of evolution. It could be behavioural or plastic responses, not genetic evolution. E. g. , art weis (uoft, eeb) field mustard in southern california.
