Document Summary

12 exam questions slide 1: slide 2: where he comes from: low species biodiversity contrast to areas where he travelled to high species diversity. Boy is this different than in the uk. Animal- animal, plant- animal etc abiotic factors are those involving physical fctors of environment. Year round warmth results in rapid growth and insect/ microbial populations. Pest and disease pressures on plants more intense. Species diversity is high so distance from one indididual to another could be several kilometers. Wind in tropics isn"t important, instead its animals that do pollination. Tropical forests are also largely evergreen ( non deciduous) unlike temperate forests. Dense canopy in tropical forest makes it harder for pollen to get transported by wind. Dan janzen found that the euglossine bee as long distance pollinator of tropical plants. Bees can travel 23 km between similar species of plants in a tropical forest.

This part of the activity focuses on some of the key methods that have been useful in protecting endangered species and protecting biodiversity, including hunting and fishing regulations, creating parks and refuges, the Endangered Species Act, and recovery plans that aim to protect the habitat of rare or endangered species. As an example, there are many rare and unique species of both plants and animals in New Zealand. Nearly 1,000 years ago, though, colonists to the area introduced rats and other invasive species of plants and animals that began to harm the native ecosystems. At Kapiti Island, a recovery plan created a wildlife refuge, eliminated the non-native species such as goats, pigs, rats, and dogs and brought back native plants and animals such as the Kiwi bird. Instructions Review the Case Study at the beginning of Chapter 11, entitled âHow Can We Save Spotted Owls?â and Section 11.1, entitled âBiodiversity and the Species Conceptâ and Section 11.2, entitled âWhat Threatens Biodiversity?â Spotted owl populations have suffered from habitat destruction, while native species in New Zealand have suffered from invasive species; these are two types of threat to biodiversity. Consider other threats as put forth in Chapter 10, as well as the implications of biodiversity loss for humans. Open Google Earth, and in the search box enter: Kapiti Island, Wellington, NZ. Click Search. How far is Kapiti from the mainland of the North Island? Does this distance make it harder or easier to keep non-native species out of the nature preserve on the island? Be sure to explain why
