- Conservation of Biodiversity
- an indicator species is an organism used to assess a specific environmental condition
- relative numbers of indicator species can be used to calculate the value of a biotic index
- biotic index - compares the relative frequency of indicator species
- in situ conservation may require active management of nature reserves or national parks
- Ex situ conservation is the preservation of species outside their natural habitats
- richness and evenness are components of biodiversity
- richness - number of different species present
- evenness - how close in numbers each species is
- biogeographic factors affect species diversity
- large nature reserves vs smaller ones
- connected nature reserves vs isolated ones
