BIODIVERSITY Biological diversity, or the shorter "biodiversity," (bio-di-ver-si-ty) simply means the diversity, or variety, of plants and animals and other living things in a particular area or region.

TEMPERATURE AND BIODIVERSITY A new approach contradicts previous research that reported an inverse correlation between high temperatures and biodiversity

TEMPERATURE AND BIODIVERSITY A new approach contradicts previous research that reported an inverse correlation between high temperatures and biodiversity In what ways does temperature affect biodiversity? With the advance of climate change and a warming planet, will this phenomenon be detrimental or advantageous to biodiversity?

TEMPERATURE AND BIODIVERSITY A new approach contradicts previous research that reported an inverse correlation between high temperatures and biodiversity What are the main claims made in the article? What pieces of evidence does the author use to support the claim? What reasoning does the author use?

HOW BIODIVERSITY KEEPS EARTH ALIVE Species loss lessens the total amount of biomass on a given parcel, suggesting that the degree of diversity directly impacts the amount of life the planet can support

HOW BIODIVERSITY KEEPS EARTH ALIVE Species loss lessens the total amount of biomass on a given parcel, suggesting that the degree of diversity directly impacts the amount of life the planet can support What are some of the major factors that affect species survival? What causes species to go extinct? In what ways could a diverse population of species help the overall “health” of the planet?
