ExtinctionExtinction• Extinction of a species occurs when it
ceases to exist; may follow environmental change - if the species does not evolve
• Evolution and extinction are affected by:– large scale movements of continents– gradual climate changes due to continental
drift or orbit changes– rapid climate changes due to catastrophic
events

Species Diversity
Def: the variety of species in an area
Two subcomponents: species richness species evenness
41
Species Richness vs. EvennessSpecies Richness: measurement of the
number of species in a given area
Species Evenness (: measurement of how evenly distributed organisms are among Species (also called Species Abundance)
Community A Community B
species 1 25 1species 2 0 1species 3 25 1species 4 25 1species 5 25 96
42
Determining Species Diversity
Scientists may want to:
* get an estimate of # of species in an area
* compare species diversity of two communities
To be accurate, need to:
* take both species evenness and species richness into account
43
Species Diversity Indices
Shannon-Weiner (Shannon-Weaver) Index
Diversity = H1=- ∑p1 {lnp1}
(p sp 1 ln(p sp 1)) + (p sp 2 ln(p sp. 2) + …
(p sp N ln(p sp. N)
Measures: Species Richness and Species
Abundance.
Likelihood that the next indiv will be
same species as previous species.

• Values-higher # higher biodiversity.

Wilderness Act of 1964Wilderness Act of 1964• Wilderness Act of 1964: directed
the Secretary of the Interior, within 10 years, to review every roadless area of 5,000 or more acres and every roadless island (regardless of size) within National Wildlife Refuge and National Park Systems and to recommend to the President the suitability of each such area or island for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, with final decisions made by Congress. The Secretary of Agriculture was directed to study and recommend suitable areas in the National Forest System.
64
RooseveltRoosevelt• T. Roosevelt also
tripled the size of the forest reserves and transferred administration from Department of the Interior (USDOI) to Department of Agriculture (USDA.
RooseveltRoosevelt• 1905, Congress created the US Forest
Service to manage and protect forest reserves. Roosevelt appointed Gifford Pinchot as its first chief.
• 1907, Roosevelt reserved 16 million acres of land. Congress was trying to ban Executive orders for forest reservation. Roosevelt did this defiantly the day before Congress’ ban became law!
65
66
PinchotPinchot• (1905) Pinchot pioneered
scientific management of forest resources on public lands, using the principles of sustainable yield and multiple use.
• This same year, the Audubon Society was founded to preserve the nation’s bird species.
67
US National Park ServiceUS National Park Service• 1912, Congress created the US
National Park Service.• 1916, Congress passed the National
park System Organic Act – declared that the parks were to be maintained in a manner that leaves them unimpaired for future generations and established the National Park Service (DOI).
• Stephen Mather was the first Director of NPS. He began establishing grand hotels and other tourist facilities in parks with spectacular scenery to encourage tourism by allowing private concessionaires to operate facilities within the parks.

• Depending upon the characteristics of the organism, organisms will follow a biotic potential or carrying capacity type reproductive strategy

Indicator Indicator SpeciesSpecies
• a species whose status provides information on the overall condition of the ecosystem and of other species in that ecosystem
• reflect the quality and changes in environmental conditions as well as aspects of community composition
77
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
