Document Summary
Biodiversity: biodiversity: diversity of life on the planet; form of life on earth and the natural patterns it forms. Invasive species diseases: habitat destruction (loss, fragmentation, pollution, population (human, overharvesting, ecological footprinting, ef = amount of land/shallow sea needed for population needs (food, water housing, energy, transportation, etc. , avg. Inference #1: individuals whose inherited traits given them a higher probability of surviving and reproducing in a given environment tend to leave more offspring than other individuals. Incorporate as few changes in dna morphology as possible: assumes that the tree requires the fewest evolutionary events, phylogenetic trees as hypotheses, best hypothesized fits the most data (morphological, molecular, fossil) Gene flow causes allele frequencies to become more similar: populations aren"t changing then their speciation is compromised, question: speciation is caused by genetic isolation and genetic divergence. *if there are no prezygotic or postzygotic barriers, then viable, fertile offspring are produced.
