Chapter 5 Flashcards
Biome that is hot and has a lot of precipitation is
Tropical rainforest
Habitat fragmentation
Dividing of habitats
Natural and unnatural
Ex. Roads, hills, grass, water
Small fragments
Decrease species
Habitat loss
Ex. Los angelos
Habitat actually shrinks
Core habitat
The middle
Has blend of species
Edge
Has oblivious species
Can beat out other species
Migration
Ex. Mountain lions Santa Monica
More interaction between human and mountain lions
Solution= grass bridges
Habitat fragmentation does:
Impact migration
Increase inbreeding
Isolate habitat patches
H.F does not:
Threaten edge specialists
Ecosystem and species
Depending on area drives what species are there vise versa
Species and genetic
Humans are all homosapiens but different
Levels of biodiversity
Ecosystem species genetics
Ecosystem difference
Habitats
Soils
Oxygen
Rainfall
Species benefits
Food
Medicine
Essentials
Genetics effect
Limits inbreeding
Protects from disease
