endangered species?
how does protecting an endangered species effect natural selection?
You can take Homo sapiens, and whatever it does, as selection factors. Or you can define natural selection as the effect of any selective pressure other than those caused by H. sapiens. But however you define natural selection, the case is that H sapiens introduces a whole array of new factors into the scene. By protecting an endangered species (eg. panda breeding programmes) we alter natural gene flow inside and between populations, and change the survival rates and factors affecting survival... so we may maintain genes that would otherwise disappear from the population... and disable sexual selection, which, if done long enough, might have interesting effects on the creatures' mate preferences... that's how, I guess. I can say nothing more concrete, since we don't know how natural selection would act on the species if we didn't protect it (or it wasn't endangered)
What is the difference betweena threatened species and anendangered species ?
a. A threatened species and an endangered species are the same thing. b. A threatened species means that the population is likely to become endangered. An endangered species has population numbers so low that it is likely to become extinct. c. A threatened species is already extinct. An endangered species means that the population's numbers have increased greatly over the last 5 years. d. A threatened species means that the population is likely to become endangered. An endangered species is already extinct.
(b.) Why use two words for the same meaning (Threat - Danger)
What are some endangeredspecies in the ocean?
I have to do this project for my biology class and the topic is endangered species. I want to do mine in a certain endangered specie In the ocean but im not sure what are some web pages that i can look at to see a list of endangererd species. Can some one tell me a page or info that they know about this?
BUTANDING (Whale shark) - These friendly vegetarians known as the largest fishes in the whole world are hunted in the seas of Philippines. Although the law said it's illegal, many fishermen still hunt them for the big money they get for each kilo of butanding meat. DUGONG (Sea cows) - These cute and heavy sea mammals are too slow and too weak to defend themselves from illegal fishermen. It's disappointing that they are being hunted for their delicious meat. PAWIKAN (Philippine green turtle) - They are steamed, collected, and sold in black markets. These hard-shelled reptiles are fastly decreasing in number. Poor lads. PATING (Sharks) - They are hunted - not because they are fierce sea predators - but because of their fins. Yes. Fins. Why? Ask the sharks fin soup fanatics. LUMBA-LUMBA (Dolphins) - It's a shame that people do not realize that these highly intelligent sea mammals deserve to live not eaten. Many fishermen hunt them when they go near their boats to do acrobatics. Poor dolphins. All they wanted to do is to entertain humans. But these illegal fishers are too dumb to understand this.
