Lecture 13 I. What is Biological Diversity? Biodiversity Species Richness

Lecture 13 I. What is Biological Diversity? S = cA Z log S = log c + z log A. Species Area Curve:

Lecture 13 I. What is Biological Diversity? How many species are there on the Earth? Jon Feldsa (1991) Udzungwaq Partridge (Xenoperdix udzungwensis)

Lecture 13 II. Latitudinal and Altitudinal Gradients Latitudinal gradient of diversity

Lecture 13 II. Latitudinal and Altitudinal Gradients Altitudinal gradient of diversity

Lecture 13 III. Geographic Controls on Diversity Historical Theories of Biodiversity: Stability-Time Hypothesis Tropical regions have experiences less disruption Environmental stability = increased species richness

Lecture 13 III. Geographic Controls on Diversity Equilibrium Theories of Biodiversity: Large gradients for resources offer a wide range of habitat for different species to occur. Species typically have highly specialized niches. Key resources may be more abundant.

Lecture 13 III. Geographic Controls on Diversity Equilibrium Theories of Biodiversity: Habitat Diversity Large Land Areas of the Tropics Environmental Stability Competition Predation Productivity Disturbance

Lecture 13 III. Geographic Controls on Diversity Equilibrium Theories of Biodiversity: Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis

Lecture 13 III. Geographic Controls on Diversity Equilibrium Theories of Biodiversity: Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (South America) (California)

Lecture 13 IV. Island Biogeography

S = Equilibrium species SF = Small far islands LF = Large far islands SN = Small near islands LN = Large near islands
