Now you will examine the biodiversity crisis using the Hawaiian Islands as a case study. This archipelago is geographically diverse in size, elevation, and habitat type and is historically rich in biodiversity.
Hawaii's variety of plants and animals is an example of how isolation can lead to the emergence of new
species. This has produced many very specialized species, most of which are endemic, meaning they are
found nowhere else on Earth. Though there is a variety of species, these species are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of introduced species, habitat loss and fragmentation.
What does the article mean by "these species are particularly vulnerable"?

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution
