Document Summary
For assignment: show t value, df, and p (significance of test) and ci or se. Species are the unit of evolution; which creates biodiversity. So inorder to keep biodiversity, we must preserve species. Each coutnry has its own endangered species list (international) We are more likely to get money when it is species oriented (saving river vs saving panda: life history characteristsics of species as predictors of extinction likelihood. The greatest predictor of the extinction of a species is its geographic range. Also for primates, it is also body mass (the greater the body size, the higher chance of it becoming extinct) On the other hand, for carnivores, the longer the gestation length, the higher chance of them becoming extinct) On a different graph, just looking at song birds (we are currently losing them at the strongest rate) The more the bird is picky on its habitat, the lower the population size.
