Answer 1

Answer:

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Rivet Popper Hypothesis:

• Paul Ehrlich Demonstrated The Rivet Popper Hypothesis.

• This Hypothesis Explains about Spieces Richness of an Ecosystem.

• He (Paul Ehrlich) Compares Species of Ecosystem with Rivets of An Aeroplane.

• He took Aeroplane as a Ecosystem and Explained How removing Rivets of the Plane damages the Plane. Likewise Species is also important for an Ecosystem.

• He (Paul Ehrlich) also Explained that Removing a rivet From seat (or) Some other small parts won't Cause much Damage to the plane. But if the Rivet associated with the Wing of the Plane is Removed then it may lead to Crash.

• Likewise, Removing a Critical Species may affect the Entire Community and thus the Full Ecosystem.

• This Hypothesis Explains the Role of Species in a Ecosystem.

Answer 2

Answer:

hiii mate...

here is ur answer,

Ecologist Paul Ehrlich gave rivet popper hypothesis to help understand the contribution species richness, He compared each species with rivet in the body of an airplane.  

                                                                               (i) This hypothesis explains that ecosystem to be an airplane and the species to be the rivets joining all parts together.

                                                                              (ii) If every passenger travelling in the airplane start taking rivets home (causing a species to become extinct), initially it may not affect flight safety (proper functioning of ecosystem), but over a period of time the plane becomes weak and dangerous (species become endangered and then extinct.
