BIO 311D Concept Map -Jasmine George

The planet is experiencing a rise in average global temperatures, commonly known as global warming. This phenomenon is causing significant disruptions in ecosystems, as species are forced to migrate or alter their habitats.

GLOBAL WARMING the increase of the global average temperature on Earth

Global Warming Displaces Species Global Warming forces speciesto move into new eranges or alter habitats in ways that could disrupt the ecosystem.

Animals and plants that rely on one another were likely to migrate at different rates, leading to ecological disruption.

Will Lead to Health Hazards in the Furture

higher temperatures will excaberate respiratory ailments such as asthma and bronchitis
Major Tropical diseases likely to spread with an increase in tempteratures; Even a modest global tmeperature increase is epxected to extend the range of vectors
Mortality Rate of heat-related deaths will inrease with temperatures

Pollution in Ecosystems

Subtopic
Humans contribute to the aging of lake by increasing the nutrient level of the lake.
Human Sewage
Laundry Detergetn/Soaps runoff into water -addition potassium into water
Farm Runoff (Fertilizer)

Greenhouse Effect the trapping of heat in the atmosphere by certain (greenhouse) gases

Greenhouse Gases
methane
nitrous oxides
carbon dioxide
CFC's
water vapor

Loss of habitat

Leads to Species Extincitions

Hybridization

Hybridization can save an endangered species, but it can also make one go extinct .
can lead to genetic drift
Genetic Rescue- saving a species on the verge of extinction through hybridization

Species Introduction

Hunting

Exploitation

Abrupt Environmental Change

accounts for mass extinctions
Mass Extinction: 30-40% of species go extinct

POPULATION GENETICS

Hardy Weinberg Genetic Equillibrium: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 -states genotype frequencies are constant from 1 generation to another

CONDITIONS OF
NO MUTATION

Mutation is the ultimate source of GENETIC VARIATION

Mutation: random changes in genetic code

NO SELECTION
RANDOM MATING

INBREEEDING mating between relatives

NO MIGRATION

movement of genes between populations

migration=gene flow

GENETIC DRIFT

random changes in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation
