Answer 1

Answer:

Human activities are causing major changes in biological communities worldwide, and these changes can harm biodiversity and ecosystem function. Ecosystem function is important for supporting plant and animal communities, and ensuring the long-term survival of human populations.

The main threats facing biodiversity globally are:

destruction, degradation and fragmentation of habitats

reduction of individual survival and reproductive rates through exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species.

However, species do not all respond equally to these threats. Declines often show strong phylogenetic and ecological patterns.

So there is an urgent need to model the response of biodiversity on the intensity of threat and the species' ecological attributes.
