- 保护生物学 保护生物学
- 野生动物管理的人类维度
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
背景情况:
- 人类活动导致生物多样性显著丧失,需要人类维度研究,以便在保护区以外进行有效的保护规划.
- 为了实现保护的社会和环境效益,公众参与至关重要,但在复杂的社会文化背景下,关于在复杂的社会文化背景下平衡公众需求与保护目标的知识差距存在.
研究的目的:
- 检查中国自由放牧的猫和野生动物之间的冲突,以了解同情和生物多样性保护之间的共识如何能为决策提供信息.
- 确定影响公众对自由放牧猫的态度及其对野生动物的影响的因素.
主要方法:
- 一项全国性的在线调查,中国有9000多名受访者参与.
- 统计分析以确定受访者特征 (猫拥有,性别,宗教,知识) 与对自由放牧猫和保护的态度之间的相关性.
主要成果:
- 超过9000份调查问卷显示,中国大陆每年大约有2900万只自由放牧的猫和超过500万只新的野猫.
- 猫主,女性和宗教人士更有可能淡化猫的负面影响和支持庇护所,而更多的生物多样性知识与更少的猫拥有和遗弃相关.
- 具有更高生物多样性和入侵物种知识的受访者显示,自由放牧猫的拥有率和放弃率较低.

01:50Threats to Biodiversity
22.3K
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...

02:31Habitat Fragmentation
17.5K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

01:57What is Conservation Biology?
18.4K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

02:39Predator-Prey Interactions
16.2K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

02:04Conservation of Small Populations
13.1K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

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.
