Full Description
This exam investigates the patterns of extinction observed in historical ecologies as evidenced by the fossil record. It emphasizes the implications of these patterns for current biodiversity and ecosystem structures.
Examining historical extinctions is vital for understanding the factors that contribute to species loss, thereby informing conservation strategies and ecological management in response to contemporary biodiversity crises.
Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate extinction dynamics, analyze fossil evidence related to historical events, and evaluate the repercussions of species loss on ecosystem structure.
The discussions may also include comparisons of historical and current extinction events, as well as potential mitigation strategies in light of past lessons.
Sample Questions
- What patterns of extinction have been observed in the fossil record?
- Discuss the ecological consequences of historical extinction events.
