Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

16.3K
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.

What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

32.2K
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.

Ecological Niches

All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

The Nativist Approach01:21

The Nativist Approach

348
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...

Threats to Biodiversity

26.4K
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...

Characteristics of Life

253.8K
Biology is a natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development, interactions, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. The field's scope is extensive and divided into several specialized disciplines, such as anatomy, physiology, ethology, genetics, and many more. All living things share a few key traits, including cellular organization, heritable genetic material and the ability to adapt/evolve, metabolism to regulate energy needs, the...

Summary

Conservation decisions based on species nativeness may ignore social values and have equity consequences. Race, not ecological knowledge, significantly influenced grief over native versus non-native species declines.

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Biology
  • Human Ecology
  • Environmental Sociology

Background:

  • Central conservation biology concepts like nativeness are influenced by social and ecological factors.
  • The social implications of using nativeness in conservation decisions are not fully understood.
  • Nativeness may mask social values, leading to prioritization of native species despite declines in non-native ones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess public perceptions of native and non-native bird declines in Metro Vancouver.
  • To measure ecological grief and loss of cultural ecosystem services related to bird declines.
  • To examine how nature experiences and sociodemographics, particularly race, influence these perceptions.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 600 people in Metro Vancouver about bird declines.
  • Measured ecological grief and cultural ecosystem service loss for native and non-native birds.
  • Employed a two-treatment experimental design, informing half about species nativeness.
  • Analyzed perceptions based on familiarity, experiences, sociodemographics, and race.

Main Results:

  • Perceptions of loss varied with bird familiarity, experiences, and native status.
  • Race was the strongest moderator: only White individuals reported greater grief for native species declines.
  • Ecological knowledge, urbanicity, or nature experiences did not moderate the effect of nativeness on grief.

Conclusions:

  • Relying solely on native status for conservation may lead to unintended sociodemographic and equity issues.
  • Race significantly influences emotional responses to species declines, highlighting equity concerns in conservation.
  • Ecological grief and cultural ecosystem service measures effectively reveal complex human-nature relationships, including those with non-native species.
