it has not been successful

Answer 17

scientists want to classify all species as endangered

Answer 18

there are animals listed that are not worth saving

Answer 19

even when the evidence does not support a hypothesis, conservation biologists continue to test that hypothesis until they find evidence to support it

Answer 20

it is based only on computer simulations and ignores real-world data

Answer 21

it is an applied and goal-oriented science, with implicit values and ethical standards

Answer 22

conservation biologists ignore the scientific method

Answer 23

In community-based conservation, scientists from a wide range of backgrounds are brought together to focus the efforts of an entire scientific community on the problem.

Answer 24

In community-based conservation, local people are involved with protecting the habitat of endangered species, allowing them to still gain benefit from its resources.

Answer 25

Community-based conservation focuses on protecting plant and animal communities rather than single species.

Answer 26

Community-based conservation requires a large community of guards to patrol preserves and keep people out.

Answer 56

Endangered Species Act

Answer 57

Small organisms are always the keystone species in an ecosystem, while larger predators are less important.

Answer 58

Small organisms are less important than larger predators for the survival of the ecosystem.

Answer 59

"Ecosystem engineers" can be as important as keystone species for the survival of the ecosystem.

Answer 60

No one species is more important than another in regard to the survival of an ecosystem.

Answer 61

Ecosystem resilience

Answer 62

Conservation

Answer 63

Ecosystem services

resilience

Answer 66

A hotspot is an area near volcanic vents on the ocean floor where the species diversity is high.

Answer 67

A hotspot is a region where large numbers of animals are brought together into an enclosure.

Answer 68

A hotspot is a region where species diversity is high but threatened by habitat loss.

Answer 69

A hotspot is an area where the rate of species extinction is high.

Answer 70

Cloning of mammals tends to produce viable organisms that survive to reproductive age.

Answer 71

Cloning mammals is a more viable strategy than habitat protection for increasing the biodiversity of species on the earth.

Answer 72

Producing cloned animals and keeping them in zoos does not increase biodiversity of the species.

Answer 73

Cloning of mammals is not possible.

Answer 77

Extinction

Answer 78

Answer 80

overfishing of ocean fish

Answer 81

heavy metal runoff from a manufacturing plant

Answer 82

small freshwater fish

Answer 83

Glaciation events at the equator promote species diversity.

Answer 84

Equatorial climatic conditions provide little energy, so species must work together to share what is available.

Answer 85

Stable equatorial climatic conditions discourage any one species from dominating the ecosystem and encourage biodiversity.

Answer 86

Equatorial climatic conditions favor generalists.

Answer 87

increases the number of available pathogens

Answer 88

means that there is genetic uniformity

Answer 89

decreases the number of predators

Answer 90

is a potential source of new food items or new genetic varieties of existing foods
