1: Define Threatened Species: Any species that are vulnerable to endangerment in the near future
2: Define Endangered Species: Species whose numbers are so small they are at risk of extinction
3: What are some of the human impacts to biodiversity?
Humans impact biodiversity through habitat destruction, over harvesting, climate change, pollution, deforestation, and invasive species. (HIPPCO)
4: What are the characteristics of k selected species?
A k selected species has long life spans, large off spring, few offspring, parental care, slow population growth, and a stale population size
5: What are the characteristics of r selected species?
A r selected species has short life spans, many offspring, little to no parental care, high population size, and rapid population growth
6: What are some causes for species to become threatened or endangered more than others?
Causes for species to become threatened or endangered more than others is a small population size
7: What can we do to protect endangered species?
We can protect endangered species by preserving habitats, breeding programs, legislation, and education
8: What are some laws that protect endangered species? How do we know if the law is a United States Law or International Treaty?
The endangered species act, lacey act, CITES, and convention on biological diversity are laws that protect endangered species. United states laws have "act" and International treaties have "protocol or convention"
