means?

What does “Bio” mean?

Diversity = Variety

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth and CONNECTION
of all living things .Scientists have identified more than 1.4 million species. Tens of millions -- remain unknown (
www.thecatalogueoflife.org)
•The tremendous variety of life on Earth is made possible by complex interactions among all living
things including micro-oganisms.

There are 3 components of biodiversity
1. Diversity of genes (GENETIC DIVERSITY)
Chihuahuas, beagles, and rottweilers are all the same species —but they're not the same because there is
variety in their genes.

2. Diversity of number of speciesSPECIES DIVERSITY
For example, monkeys, dragonflies, and meadow beauties are all different species.

3. Variety of ecosystems (ECOSYSTEM DIVERSITY)
Lakes, Ponds, and Rivers are all Freshwater Ecosystems.
Rocky coast, Sand Dune, Estuary, Salt Marsh , Coral Reef are all Marine Ecosystems.
So what’s an ECOSYSTEM???
![Page 17: Biodiversity meaning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55d4a809bb61ebd40e8b4691/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ECOSYSTEM
“ A self-contained community of microorganisms, animals and plants, that interact with each other and with their physical environment.”
Example:a rock pool

Within an ecosystem there can be many HABITATS
![Page 20: Biodiversity meaning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55d4a809bb61ebd40e8b4691/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HABITATS might describe:
• The NAME of the place where the creature lives.
• eg Arctic Canada is the habitat of the polar bear Ursa maritima.

HABITATS might describe:
• The TYPE of place where the creature lives.
• eg species of fish like Pike (Esox lucius) are found in freshwater lakes and ponds.
• So what’s a SPECIES??

A species is difficult to define exactly!!
![Page 23: Biodiversity meaning](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55d4a809bb61ebd40e8b4691/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. A group of morphologically similar creatures which can:
• Interbreed to produce fertile offspring
• Are ‘reproductively isolated’.
• Problems with this definition include…

• Extinct creatures eg T. rex
• Creatures who breed asexually eg bacteria
• Creatures who can’t be tested ethically eg Man x Chimp

2. Creatures who are related through PHYLOGENY
• Similar DNA
• Similar proteins eg in blood
• Similar biochemistry
• Similar embryology

Should we be concerned about biodiversity?
What we know: The Earth is losing species at an alarming rate
• Some scientists estimate that as many as 3 species per hour are going extinct and 20,000
extinctions occur each year. • when species of plants and animals go extinct, many
other species are affected.
