conservation goals
threats human activity
- geographic range
explain population
- abundance
properties
- density
- populations with narrow ranges might be easily
fragmented
what are the implications of
- populations restricted to small areas are more
the geographic range size
susceptible to disturbances
and shape?
- populations with a large geographic range are less
vulnerable to disturbances
the smaller the geographic range of a species, the more
what is the relationship
vulnerable they are, more susceptible to change and
between abundance of a

**as size of islands increases species richness increases
why are endemic species distribution ranges and population sizes of the species
more at risk for becoming will be reduced
endangered than - more vulnerable to extinction
