1: Define Threatened Species:
A specie that has a high risk of extinction in the near future
2: Define Endangered Species:
serious risk of extinction (likely to be extinct)
3: What are some of the human impacts to biodiversity?
Habitat loss, overharvesting, climate change, pollution, deforestation, alien or invasive species are some of the impacts of human being on biodiversity.
4: What are the characteristics of k selected species?
The characteristics of K selected species are long life spans, few off springs, large offspring, good parental care, slow population growth and stable population size
5: What are the characteristics of r selected species?
The characteristics of R selected species are short life span, many off spring, little to no parental care, high variable of population size, rapid population growth
6: What are some causes for species to become threatened or endangered more than others?
k selectors because they have a limited food source(specialists) and experience reproduction problems due to small populations.
7: What can we do to protect endangered species?
Habitat preservation, legislation, Breeding programs, educating the public are some of the acts to protect endangered species.
8: What are some laws that protect endangered species? How do we know if the law is a United
States Law or International Treaty?
Endangered species act, Lacey act, CITIES, Convention of biological diversity are some of the laws to protect endangered species and Most of the U.S. laws are an act if it's a treaty or convention it's international law
