MOGYY AND
GINGER’S
APES
PRESENTATION
WHAT IS DAT?
Well, biodiversity has not one, but
THREE LEVELS:
• Genetic diversity
• Species diversity
• Ecological diversity
Species? C’mon
tell me more!
Well, since you insist!
• Species richness
• Species evenness
• Founding Father (venture a guess?)
• Three cheers for three definitions of
species!
Let’s Get
Technical!
• Molecular techniques
• DNA Sequencing
• Genome
How does this impact classification and
whatnot?
Oh my! How
many are out
there?
• We have named 1.5 MILLION species
(mad props to the scientists)
• ALAS! there is an estimated 3 – 50
MILLION additional species alive
today.
• 70% of known are invertebrates
HOT SPOTZ
• GREATEST concentration
of different organisms
• 1,500 endemics
• Trouble!
– Deforestation
– Invasive species
Wow, I’m exhausted…
How about Joke?
A three legged dog walks into a bar and
says to the bartender, "I'm looking for the
man who shot my pa."
…..
And now back to APES.
How do we
benefit from
biodiversity?
• All of what we eat comes
from the environment
• Wild plants- disease
resistance, desirable traits
• Drugs and Medicine
• Ecological Benefits
• Cultural Benefits
Oh RATs!
• Threats to our
environment:
– Extinction
– Natural Process
– Accelerated due to
humans
Pause for another BRIEF lol.
(get it? BRIEF. lol?)

What we have all been waiting
for:
CASE STUDY!
• Recovery of the
Hawaiian Bird, Nene.
• Predation and Over
hunting
• $9.8 million for
complete recovery.
