Chapter 55 Conservation Biology and Restoration Ecology Lecture Outline Overview: The Biodiversity Crisis Conservation biology integrates ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and behavioral ecology to conserve biological diversity at all levels. Restoration ecology applies ecological principles in an effort to return degraded ecosystems to conditions as similar as possible to their natural, predegraded state. Scientists have described and formally named about 1.8 million species of organisms. Some biologists think that about 10 million more species currently exist. Others estimate the number to be as high as 200 million.

Selection
World Wide Web
Extinction
The Selection in evolution means generation of new biological species, usually by the division of a single species in two or more two specis of genetical difference. The rate of change in diversity depends on the rate at which taxa originate and become extinct. The number of taxa, N, changes over time due to origination and extinction. These events are analogous births or deaths of individual organisms in a population.

U.S. Government- 4th Hour 31 January 2011 Title of Article: Diversity in the Power Elite Thesis Statement: Minorities and Women must do more than white Christian males to end up as part of the ?power elite?. Summary: Issues with race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation have been at the forefront of American society since the end of the 1960s. (86) As wealth increases in American society, so does power. (87) Horatio Alger Jr. wrote of many stories of poor people making it into the ?power elite? through hard work and perseverance.
