Biogeography, the distribution of Species. A curve is used to explain why a species is found in a Specific area.. → Biotic + Abiotic Factors → 4 major Marine Biomes: Trades, westerlies, Polar, Coastal. (defined by) phytoplankton fauna environmental Factors. Biodiversity = the variety of Species. organismal, ecological, genetic. Species diversity Species richness (How many species you have). "Redundant species have same ecological functions. No adverse effect on the ecosystem. keystone could have adverse effects because they have a large manipulation. Rivet and Redundancy Hypothesis: can explain the consequences of the loss of a Species. → The amount of redundant + keystone species can essentially determine "Stress" levels of an ecosystem. Zonation: Coastal, Rocky, and Salt Marshes. *Competition: For limiting resources can affect large-scale biogeographic and diversification patterns. could increase diversification. Study could be non-conclusive
