About Biodiversity and Threats to Species
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Ecology and Biodiversity strand of Environmental science and ecology. Most of what you will find is mind maps, with flashcard decks, notes, slide sets and a handful of quizzes alongside them. Together they cover why species are at risk, what is lost when diversity falls, and how it can be managed.
Where to start
Begin with the big picture. The Biodiversity Threats mind map covers population growth, resource consumption and gaps in knowledge about conservation. Conservation of Biodiversity explains the life-support services that living things provide. Human impact on the environment looks at why species are at risk, including habitat destruction from agriculture, urban development, forestry and mining.
Going deeper
- Effects of loss: the mind map Conservation 4- Effects of Biodiversity loss covers pollination and climatic regulation, with a global annual value attached to pollination.
- Invasive species: Biodiversity, Invasive Species & Extinction Risk looks at invasive species as a threat to global-scale biodiversity. The flashcard deck Invasive Species of Michigan (Plants) gives plant-by-plant detail.
- Measuring and evolution: Biodiversity & Evolution separates genetic, ecological, functional and species diversity, then links them to natural selection.
- Case studies: there are notes on hotspot case studies and a mind map on threats in the Arctic Region, which suit A-level Geography questions.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz such as Human impacts on diversity or The Loss of Biodiversity. Note any question you miss, go back to the matching map branch, and check the flashcards for key terms. The decks Biodiversity key terms and Biodiversity general questions are handy for this. A-level Biology students can use the genetic diversity quiz as a quick check.
Make it your own
Every resource here was made by GoConqr users, so styles vary. Choose the ones that match your course, then draw your own map of the threats you find hardest to remember.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Biodiversity Threats mind map for an overview of why species are under pressure. Then move to Conservation of Biodiversity to see why it matters, and Human impact on the environment for habitat destruction. After that, try a quiz to see what stuck.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
There are over 200 mind maps. They cover threats, habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, extinction rates, ecosystem services, measuring species diversity, fishing impacts and conservation. Some are case studies, such as the Borneo case study and the Arctic Region threats map.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it's worth comparing a couple of maps or decks on the same subtopic.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
The mix is mostly secondary, with a good share of university material. Listed resources mention A-level Geography and A-level Biology, such as the A2 Geography map on biodiversity under threat. University students will find lecture-based flashcard decks and conservation biology material.
Are there quizzes on this page?
Yes, there are 9 quizzes. Titles include Human impacts on diversity, Conservation Science, Extinctions and changes in biodiversity, Quantifying and Measuring Biodiversity and Genetic diversity. They work well after you have read a related mind map.
What if I can't find my topic?
Try a nearby resource, such as notes on threats or a flashcard deck of key terms, and use it as a starting point. A free account lets you make your own mind map, flashcards, quiz or notes to fill the gap.
