The Synthesis of "species diversity"

Explore biodiversity: the incredible variety of life on Earth. Understand why it's crucial for our planet's health and our own survival.

A look into what defines a species, why this classification is vital for conservation, and how it impacts our understanding of the natural world.

Speciation is the evolutionary process that creates new species, driving the biodiversity of life on Earth. Discover how it happens and why it matters.

Discover keystone species, organisms that have a disproportionately large effect on their ecosystem, holding it together like an arch's keystone.

Explore the science of extinction, from natural processes to the current biodiversity crisis. Learn why species disappear and its impact on us.

An explanation of an organism's unique role, or niche, within its ecosystem and why this concept is vital for understanding biodiversity.

Discover the gene pool: the total genetic diversity within a population. Learn why it's crucial for evolution, conservation, and human health.

Discover the hardy organisms that first colonize barren landscapes, kicking off the process of creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem.

Explore invertebrates, the diverse group of animals without a backbone that makes up over 95% of all animal species and is vital to our ecosystems.

Discover allopatric speciation, the evolutionary process where new species arise from geographic isolation. Learn how barriers create biodiversity.
