Levels of Biodiversity: Ecosystem, Species, and Genetic Diversity

Levels of biodiversity. 3 scales: a.) ecosystem diversity is the variety of ecosystems within a region. b.) species diversity is the variety of species within an ecosystem c.) genetic diversity is the variety of genes among individuals of a species.

Impact of Human Activity on Animal Genetic Diversity Worldwide

Human population density and land use is causing changes in animal genetic diversity, according to researchers at McGill University. The loss of genetic diversity will hinder the ability of plant and animal populations to adapt to changing environments [Credit: McGill University] The findings reported in the journal Ecology Letters, show that environmental changes caused by humans are leading to changes in genetic variation in thousands of species of birds, fish, insects, and mammals. The…

Understanding Biodiversity: The Variety of Life on Earth

What is it you ask? Biodiversity is a term meaning, the variety of species within the planet, or a certain region. Biodiversity also refers to the genetic variation within and between species, as well as the diversity of regions and ecosystems. “In short, it is described as degree of variation of life.” - https://www.rainforest-rescue.org/topics/biodiversity/questions-and-answers#start

Plant genetics: extract DNA and explore the challenge of gene sequencing | Gene sequencing, Genetics, Next generation sequencing

Domesticated crop plants tend to have low genetic diversity because they have usually been selectively bred from varieties that are genetically related. This cross-breeding approach produces high-yield varieties, but it can also increase susceptibility to disease and pests.[1] Cross-breeding these…

Whole-Genome Genetic Diversity in a Sample of Australians with Deep Aboriginal Ancestry in 2025 | Genetics, Genome, Genetic drift

Australia was probably settled soon after modern humans left Africa, but details of this ancient migration are not well understood. Debate centers on whether the Pleistocene Sahul continent (composed of New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania) was first settled by a single wave followed by regional divergence into Aboriginal Australian and New Guinean populations (common origin) or whether different parts of the continent were initially populated independently. Australia has been the subject of…
