Biodiversity

Habitat fragmentation

• increases undesirable edge habitat

• decreases undesirable edge habitat

• increases desirable core habitat

• decreases desirable core and edge habitat equally

Which of the following requires a recovery plan for increasing endangered populations?

• Endangered Species Act
• CITES
• Lacey Act
• One Act Plays

Fragmented habitat can be reconnected most directly by

• wildlife corridors
• captive breeding programs
• debt for nature swaps
• prescribed burns

Hunters are important in wildlife management because they control population size and

• provide food for local food banks
• provide funds through licenses 
• decrease endangered species
• remove the most fit organisms from a population

The three types of biodiversity are

• genetic, species and ecosystem
• medical, agricultural, ethical
• habitat loss, pollution, overharvesting

Most extinction experts believe that the extent of biodiversity loss will increase over the next 50 to 100 years because of;

• The projected growth of the world's human population and resource per person.

• The increased loss due to poaching and the demand for endangered species.

• the reduced input of solar energy cooling the planet and altering the earth's life.

• The acceleration of natural disease processes.

• The reduced fragmentation of biodiverse regions.
