Answers
The devil or ���evil quartet��� is a sobriquet used to describe the four major causes that have led to the accelerated rate of extinction of species. These causes have been attributed mainly to human activities like extensive deforestation and poaching. These cause habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation, alien species invasion and co-extinction. In the context of music, the word quartet is used to describe a group of four singers or instrumentalists or a musical composition for four voices or instruments.
The evil quartet is the concept which describes the reasons which cause a decrease in the number of species. There is a loss of biodiversity due to main four reasons which were known as the four horsemen. The reasons are overexploitation, loss of habitat, the introduction of the exotic species and the extinction of species continuously. These reasons were studied by the researchers and were put forward as the main reasons for the future extinction of the species.
