Biodiversity Whiteboard ActivityA: Everyone will be one type of tree
1. Douglas Fir (Write a D on your whiteb0ard) 2. Walk around and write down 3 peoples names on your
board3. Go back to you seat and remain standing4. A disease will now infect one and spread among the trees
B: We will now be different trees (Repeat Steps in A) Douglas Fir (D) Nobel Fir (N) Western Red Cedar (C) Maple (M) Hemlock (H) White fir (W) Lodge Pine (L) White Pine (WP) Western Dogwood (WD)

Important TermsBiodiversity: The
amount of different species living in an area.
Genetic Diversity: Different genetic characteristics of a species. Cheetah populations have
very low diversity, due to inbreeding

Species Diversity: The number of species
or organisms per unit area found in different habitats of the planet.

Important TermsHabitat Diversity: The amount of habitats or
niches in a given areaVariety of forests, deserts, grasslands, lakes,
oceans, coral reefs, wet lands, and other biological communities.
Chaparral Coniferous forest dessert grasslandsdeciduous forest

Biodiversity: Why should we care? Diverse ecosystems are more stable and
more healthyMore resistant to damage from factors like
climate change and spread of diseaseProvides important ecological services to
humansBiodiversity is useful to us as humans

Pre-Assessment Questions(Write on Loose leaf paper)
How do you think diversity changes during succession?
Do you think a more complex ecosystem is more or less stable?
How could human activities (agriculture, mining…) impact biodiversity?
What are the potential positive and negative results of human activities that reduce diversity?
How might habitat diversity impact species diversity and genetic diversity?

Darwin Natural SelectionImportant TermsEvolution: A change in the
gene pool of a population over time
Natural Selection: Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully.
Adaptation: An inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival.

Darwin's Research
Studies 13 species of finches on Galapagos Islands
Looked a beak size and shape:Stout beaks for eating
seedsShort and sharp beaks for
eating insects.Woodpecker-like beak for
eating insects from trees, but instead of a long tongue it uses a cactus spine held in its beak to remove its prey.

Darwin’s Theory Based on his observations he
proposed that the evolution of species occurs by Natural selection.
Occurred due to:Variation within populations
(Genetic Diversity) Overproduction of offspring (J and
S curves) Struggle for existence
(Competition/ Limited resources)Unequal survival and reproduction
rates (R and K)
![Page 16: The variety of life. Biodiversity Whiteboard Activity A: Everyone will be one type of tree 1. Douglas Fir (Write a D on your whiteb0ard) 2. Walk around.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649e7b5503460f94b7ba90/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Survivors reproduce more successfully.
Mutations & Sexual Reproduction produces variations among offspring.
Population changes over time.
Limited resources leads to a struggle for survival between offspring.
Overproduction of Offspring
Population of Organisms

What is a species? Species: A group of interbreeding
populations, with a common gene pool, which are reproductively isolated.
It’s not all about looks!
Western Medowlark Eastern Medowlark
Different Species:They do not Interbreed, because they have different songs.

What is a species…Species definition was
made by humans, and fails to fully define nature.
These two ants look different are the same species of ant fulfilling different roles in a colony.

Speciation due to isolationThe islands are close
enough to allow migration and cause distinct island populations to arise.
But the distances between the islands is great enough to reduce interbreeding between islands
This has made possible the formation of distinctive species on the islands

Speciation occurred on the earth over a very long period of time when the continents slowly drifted apart.
This leads to geographic isolation
![Page 25: The variety of life. Biodiversity Whiteboard Activity A: Everyone will be one type of tree 1. Douglas Fir (Write a D on your whiteb0ard) 2. Walk around.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649e7b5503460f94b7ba90/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Process of Natural SelectionOrganisms became isolated on various
continents which restricted interbreeding populations
Without the opportunity to interbreed and the slowly changing climatic conditions organisms “evolve” into a new species over time.
This leads to “survival of the fittest”Fitness: Organisms that are better suited to
survive and reproduce

animals??
