Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
An example of this is that a recent tropical forest study examined insects on only 19 trees, and they were the same species, and researchers found 950 different varieties
of beetles, where eighty percent of the species had been previously undiscovered (1995). One point is that scientists still have a lot to learn. Another point is that this great
variety provided by nature must mean something. Scientists call this wide variety of species biological diversity or biodiversity (1995). That term actually pertains to genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem
diversity as well(1995). The first type of biodiversity is genetic diversity where a variety of differences and possible differences exist within one species, such as the existence of people
with black, brown and red hair color ("Biodiversity," 1995). Traits such as height, leaf shape, disease resistance, and even drought tolerance are all determined by genes (1995). The
second kind is usually called species diversity where there are a number of different species that exist in the world or in some part of it (1995). Finally, the
third meaning of the term pertains to ecosystem diversity where there are a variety of ecosystems that exist on the planet, like deserts, forests, and saltwater marshes (1995). Ecosystems serve
several functions and may affect climate and other things; they also provide people with food, scenic beauty and useful materials (1995). Studies of ecosystem diversity are in fact carried out
on different scales, from one ecosystem to an entire region which contains ("Genetics," 2002). Regions contain different varieties of ecosystems that are rich in biodiversity, but individual ecosystems also
contain endemic species which makes a significant contribution to global biodiversity (2002). Perhaps the most significant habitat are tropical forests of which just 7 % (2002, p.PG) cover the worlds
