– increases with speciation
–decreases with extinction
• Give-and-take between speciationand extinction changes inbiodiversity
• Extinction creates evolutionaryopportunities for adaptive radiationof surviving species

ExtinctionExtinction
• Extinction of a species occurs when itceases to exist; may follow environmentalchange - if the species does not evolve
• Evolution and extinction are affected by:
– large scale movements of continents
– gradual climate changes due to continentaldrift or orbit changes
– rapid climate changes due to catastrophicevents

1. Immigration rate decreases as island
diversity increases
2. Extinction increases as island
diversity increases
3. Species equilibrium on islands is a
balance of immigration and local
extinction

Keystone SpeciesKeystone Species• A keystone is the stone at the top of an arch that supports the
other stones and keeps the whole arch from falling
– a species on which the persistence of a large number of other species in
the ecosystem depends.
• If a keystone species is removed from a system
– the species it supported will also disappear
– other dependent species will also disappear
• Examples
– top carnivores that keep prey in check
– large herbivores that shape the habitat in which other species live
– important plants that support particular insect species that are prey for
birds
– bats that disperse the seeds of plants
