Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

What is Biodiversity?

33.8K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Threats to Biodiversity

27.1K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

36.8K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Internal Energy01:29

Internal Energy

7.0K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

Area of Science:

  • Marine biology
  • Biodiversity informatics
  • Ecology

Background:

  • The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a centralized, expert-validated database for marine biodiversity.
  • It serves as a sustainable model for international collaboration in data management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the success of the WoRMS model.
  • To propose the replication of this model for terrestrial and freshwater species.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the established WoRMS collaborative framework.
  • It analyzes the potential for adaptation to non-marine species data.

Main Results:

  • WoRMS demonstrates a viable and effective international collaboration for biodiversity data.
  • The model's principles are applicable to a broader range of species.

Conclusions:

  • The WoRMS model provides a blueprint for improving global biodiversity data quality and management.
  • Replicating this collaborative database approach can significantly advance biological and ecological research worldwide.
