Life is constantly in our daily lives and comes in many different forms. Inhabitants of life can range from humans to the many different types of animals, both aquatically and on land, including reptiles, insects, etc. Groups of people or animals live with each other based on similar habits and routines. Humans are creatures that habituate on land because they cannot survive living aquatically based on their inability to breath under water, in contrast to a species of fish, which vicariously live under water because of their ability to breath under water. This diversity of life is a phenomenon that is extremely fascinating and helps shape the way that the creatures of Earth live and prosper. When observing this “diversity” of life, it is often …show more content…

These levels of Earth include many different stages of ecosystems and the processes that withstand it. Ecosystems provide us with species that perform necessary steps in plant growth, such as pollination and dispersing seeds. Biodiversity includes every form of life including species that are: well known to us, endangered, and even those that we rarely see or hear anything about. The study of biodiversity includes living organisms that as normal human beings who do not study this for a living, have no idea that they even exist. These rare forms of life include the many different forms of fungi, microbes, and vertebrates/invertebrates that have not been thought about. Earth is such an evolving world that more organisms are forming constantly and biologists come aware of them through the important study of …show more content…

Strong climate changes are causing the ice that many mammals live on/under and travel on to melt and cause damage to the their homes. An article from an online website about Global Biodiversity recently said that the climate change is causing a reduction in the amount of ice resulting in rapid melting. Relating to biodiversity, “whole species assemblages are adapted to life on top of or under ice — from the algae that grow on the underside of multi-year ice, forming up to 25% of the Arctic Ocean’s primary production, to the invertebrates, birds, fish and marine mammals further up the food chain,” (Shah). Climate change will cause 25% of the Artic Ocean’s production to suffer completely, resulting in a downfall to the rest of the ecosystems around the world. If the ice continues to melt, the species will not be able to do their
