8.4 Human Impact on Species

Question 1

species richness and human population growth directly or inversely proportional

Answer 1

directly

Question 2

what effect does warmer water (due to climate change) have on organisms

Answer 2

it holds less dissolved oxygen so organisms struggle to get oxygen in the their systems

Question 3

Is ocean warming slowing or facilitating more algea growth

Answer 3

facilitating (ocean)

Question 4

does warming ocean cause increased or decreased rainfall? why?

Answer 4

increased bc more evaporation = more condensation = more storms

Question 5

ocean warming effect on coral reefs

Answer 5

breaking them down bc when coralis warm they expel algea (colorful) that helps them grow

Question 6

what are the main groups of major human mediated causes of biodiversity loss

Answer 6

global and local

Question 7

local factors of major human mediated causes of biodiversity loss

Answer 7

land use changes
pollution
resource explotation
exotic species

Question 8

how does land use changes cause biodiversity loss

Answer 8

hoomans make buildings and other stuff in places of the environment which arent rly compatible with the environment so the organisms start to die and stuff

Question 9

example of land use change and how it causes biodiversity loss

Answer 9

monoculture which causes most nutrients to go to one plant and also this disrupts the equilibrium from all the species that work together in a certain environment

Question 10

monoculture

Answer 10

when only one plant/organism resides in an area

Question 11

concerning land use change

if there are more humans…

Answer 11

there will be less room for natural environments and organisms that were previously there

Question 12

explain waterborne pollutants
how they can exist
where they go
what they do

Answer 12

can be caused by bleaching of mines and then the pollutants can travel to nearby rivers and other bodies of water (Where runoff goes) and reduce reproductivity and survival of organisms

Question 13

noise pollution

Answer 13

when a place is too loud that it causes other surrounding organisms to need to change calls and stuff to communicate bc of the loudness

Question 14

light pollution

Answer 14

when light comes into place where it wasn’t before and it disrupts organisms

Question 15

hormone mimics

Answer 15

compounds that are derived from drugs but mixeroonied up with the water so that they’re a little diff

Question 16

where do hormone mimics usually end up

Answer 16

water

Question 17

what do hormone mimics do to organisms

Answer 17

usually mess with how they reproduce

Question 18

how are organisms effected by light pollutipn

Answer 18

confuses animals (some move away instead of toward)

Question 19

invasive species species that do not belong to in environment so they wach life or re up awiging

Answer 19

organismsthatkill others bc ts ebcyubenf ;

Question 20

if a species cannot adapt to the conditions that they are in, what happened to them

Answer 20

they will become endangered or exiticnt

protected areas and wildlife cordidors, habitat restoration, removal of invasive species

Question 27

extinction

Answer 27

when a species no longer exists in any of the ecosystem where it once lived

Question 28

when ares species at risk for extinction

Answer 28

when they cant adapt to conditions or migrate to other places

Question 29

what do conservation strategies focus on

Answer 29

protecting species and their environment

Question 30

what are conservation strategies consisted of

Answer 30

on the ground conservation practice laws regulations

Question 31

acronym for how human activities have increased the extinction rate

Answer 31

HIPPCO

Question 32

HIPPCO stands for what

Answer 32

habitat destruction invasive species human population growth pollution climate overexploitation

Question 33

endemic species

Answer 33

species that exist in a specific area and nowhere else in the whole entire ooniverse

Question 34

endemic species aka

Answer 34

rare species

Question 35

endemic species

Answer 35

species that exist in a limited range and have very specific habitat and resource needs

Question 36

what are the main factors that lead to extinction

Answer 36

endemism and rarity

Question 37

do orgnaisms with larger or smaller body size have a higher risk of extinction + why

Answer 37

larger bc they have slower reproudctive rates and are more vulnerable to pow pow from hoomans

Question 39

extirpation

Answer 39

when a species ceases to exist on one geographic area but not in the other areas

Question 40

extinction

Answer 40

when a species does not exist in any of the ecosystems in the world

Question 41

how do human activities effect extinction

Answer 41

augment

Question 42

when does habitat destruction occur

Answer 42

when human activities change an environment so that a species cant rly rely on it anymore so that it either becomes uninhabitable or it supports fewer species

Question 43

how do invasive spcies (human effect) do wtv blah blah blah

Answer 43

they bring invasive species to an envionment

Question 44

invasive species

Answer 44

species that are not native to the species which they are in and they SPREAD AND RAH ON THE NATIVE ONES HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Question 45

how does the human population effect habitat destruction

Answer 45

makes more habitat destruction bc the ppl use up the resources

Question 46

pollution effct on extinction

Answer 46

the pollutants are toxic to organisms and then the like bioaccumulation thing so they all js suffer from this

Question 47

climate change effect on aquatic ecosystems

Answer 47

ocean acidification mostly on coral reefs and then js forcing organisms to adapt

Question 48

climate change effect on terrestrial ecosystems

Answer 48

fat weather rising sea levels

Question 49

overexploitation aka

Answer 49

overharvesting

Question 50

when does overexploitation occur

Answer 50

when individual organisms are removed from a habitat faster than their population can recover

Question 51

how do humans contribute to overexplotation

Answer 51

ovefishing overhunting illegal trading and all that fun jazz

Question 52

are endemic species generally more specialist or generalist

Answer 52

specialist

Question 53

would a species rather have high or low population density to avoid extinction and why

Answer 53

high bc if too low theres less organisms that can like mutate and evolve so they all be dying

Question 54

what has more risk for extinction k selection or r selection and why

Answer 54

bc they tend to be fatter and have fewer offpsiring and they giveparental care

Question 55

aggregating behavior

Answer 55

when individuals in a species go into some fat groups and they do things together like migrate or spawning or mating

Question 56

r selected species

Answer 56

species that are small and tend to be short lived and can respond quick to environmental changes and also have little to no parental care

Question 57

is aggregation good or bad and why

Answer 57

bad bc it causes species to be more susceptivel to threats cuz ppl are like OMG UR THERE and this is predictable so other species like humans can come and kill thme

Question 58

dispersal

Answer 58

the movement of individuals away from their birthing population group

Question 59

is dispersal good or bad and why

Answer 59

good bc if u can move away more it mesns u can adapt better and fasetr to new environemnets

Question 62

in situ conservation

Answer 62

helpin conservation within a naturla enviornment of the organisms

Question 63

ex situ conservation

Answer 63

conservation practices outside of a species natural habitat and this usually happens when a species is in some at danger and they need immediate intervention

Question 64

what does the us marine mammal protection act do

Answer 64

protect endagered species by prohibiting the killing collecting etc of marine mmals

Question 65

what doe the convention on interational trade in endagered species do

small areas that have a bunch of species diversity like endemic species

Question 69

why are protective custody and captiv ebreeding used in ex situ conservation

Answer 69

the species gets protected in a certain area and they get captive breeding to make the species grow so they can be reintroduced into htier habitat
