BIODIVERSITY
the variety of living species on Earth
 HABITAT
the geographic location of the species

The natural home of Koi fish is

fresh bodies of water.
A frog is an amphibian.

AMPHIBIANS
any organism that is able to live both
on land and in water
 ECOSYSTEM
DIVERSITY
a form of diversity between
ecosystems within a geographical
location

From top to bottom, left to right: river, lake,

grassland, forest, mountains.
These are parts of ecosystem diversity.
Ducks are opportunistic habitat generalists,
frequenting various sorts of wetlands and
frequently living near people in agricultural
and urban environments.

are easily adaptable to many

environmental conditions

GENERALIST SPECIES (BROADNICHES)

 Panda live in a few mountain ranges
in south central China and their diet
consists only of one specific food -
bamboo.

have a narrow niche with incredibly

specific needs in order to survive

SPECIALIST SPECIES (NARROWNICHES)

Kangaroos are some of Australia's
most recognisable and well known
native animals.

NATIVE SPECIES

live and thrive in a specific ecosystem

NONNATIVE SPECIES
Modern domesticated donkeys
are all descended from African
wild asses ancestors.
are removed from its native habitat and
placed into an environment outside its
native range
 INDICATOR SPECIES
their presence, absence or abundance reflects a
specific environmental condition

Frogs make good indicator species

because they live in 2 environment: land
and water. If there are lots of frogs and
other amphibians in a habitat, it means
the ecosystem is healthy.
KEYSTONE SPECIES
- Affects the type and abundance of other
species in an ecosystem.
- Helps define an entire ecosystem.

Lions are crucial to the habitats they occupy.

Without lions, disease spread is likely across
species, and vast savanna grassland ecosystems
would disintegrate into dysfunctional, barren.
 ENDEMIC SPECIES
are found in only one area,
are especially vulnerable to
extinction

Koalas are endemic to Australia,

where they can only be found in the
southeast and eastern parts of the
country, along the coastlines of
Queensland, New South Wales,
South Australia, and Victoria.
The ancestors of modern giraffes were animals with
necks of ordinary length. However, because of the The longer-necked giraffes reproduced more, so in
tall trees, those giraffes with longer necks had an the next generation longer necks were more common.
advantage over their shorter-necked fellows.

NATURAL SELECTION
the process through which populations of
living organisms adapt and change
 ARTIFICIAL
SELECTION
any organism that is able to live both
on land and in water

Lemons were cultivated by

humans to have seedless
fruit, thin skin, and greater
amounts of water.
 A few of snake's adaptations are:
no appendages, flexible jaw
mechanism, teeth that are
directed backwards, forked
tongue used for smelling, etc.

ADAPTIVE TRAITS
a genetic trait that helps an organism to
maximize its reproductive success
SPECIATION
one species splits into two or more
different species in that process

In central Siberia, two distinct

forms of greenish warbler coexist
without interbreeding, and
therefore these forms can be
considered distinct species.
The Ammonoidea specimen discovered in the Tri An hydroelectric dam area,
Dong Nai province has the scientific name Dumortieria lantenoisi (Mansuy),
belongs to Mollusca phylum, Cephalopoda class, subclass Ammonoidea first
appeared about 400 million years ago.

FOSSILS
the geologically altered remains of a
once-living organism and/or its
behaviour
 EXTINCTION
an entire species ceases to exist in that process

The last Dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to extinction.
Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period),
after living on Earth for about 165 million years.

MASS EXTINCTION
significant rise in extinction rates above background rate
