What are the consequences of reduced genetic diversity?

Michael L. Rosenzweig, Species Diversity in Space and Time, 1st Edition, ISBN-13: 978-0883853399, ISBN-10: 0883853396, 4.9 4.9 out of The Biodiversity Heritage Library works collaboratively to make biodiversity literature openly available to the world as part of a global biodiversity ... Biodiversity (from “biological diversity”) refers to the variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems. Jul 29, 2020 ... Our results suggest that light transmittance is a strong mediating factor of understorey plant species richness. Eric Pianka's 1966 article “Latitudinal Gradients in Species Diversity: A Review of Concepts” is emblematic of the creative energy at work during this era. Marine biodiversity allows nature in our ocean to be productive, resilient and adaptable to environmental changes. Marine biodiversity can prevent one species' ... Species diversity is measured through a combination of species richness (the number of species present) and species evenness (the abundance of each species). In experimental communities of sessile marine invertebrates, increased species richness significantly decreased invasion success, apparently because species- ... Dec 26, 2018 ... In this review, consistent mechanisms are identified by which tree diversity could reduce vulnerability to drought and emerging evidence is ... Three species diversity indices, one for species richness, one for species heterogeneity, and one for species evenness, were used to calculate diversity ...
