  2. Decline in amphibian populations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_amphibian...

    Many of the causes of amphibian declines are well understood, and appear to affect other groups of organisms as well as amphibians. These causes include habitat modification and fragmentation, introduced predators or competitors, introduced species, pollution, pesticide use, or over-harvesting. However, many amphibian declines or extinctions ...

  3. Biodiversity loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity_loss

    The decrease can be temporary or permanent. It is temporary if the damage that led to the loss is reversible in time, for example through ecological restoration. If this is not possible, then the decrease is permanent. The cause of most of the biodiversity loss is, generally speaking, human activities that push the planetary boundaries too far.

  4. Habitat destruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_destruction

    [27]: 2321 For example, the decline of sea ice in the Arctic has been accelerating during the early twenty‐first century, with a decline rate of 4.7% per decade (it has declined over 50% since the first satellite records). [28] [29] [30] One well known example of a species affected is the polar bear, whose habitat in the Arctic is threatened ...

  5. Chytridiomycosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chytridiomycosis

    Reasons for amphibian declines are often termed ‘enigmatic' because the cause is unknown. Why some areas are affected by the fungus while others are not is not fully understood. Oscillating factors such as climate, habitat suitability, and population density may be factors which cause the fungus to infect amphibians of a given area.

  6. Extinction event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event

    For example, a skewed collection with half its fossils from one species will immediately reach a sample share of 50% if that species is the first to be sampled. This continues, adding up the sample shares until a "coverage" or "quorum" is reached, referring to a pre-set desired sum of share percentages. At that point, the number of species in ...

  7. Fish kill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_kill

    There are many causes of fish kill, but oxygen depletion is the most common cause.. The term fish kill, known also as fish die-off, refers to a localized mass die-off of fish populations which may also be associated with more generalized mortality of aquatic life.

  9. Vulnerable species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulnerable_species

    Vulnerable habitat or species are monitored and can become increasingly threatened. Some species listed as "vulnerable" may be common in captivity, an example being the military macaw. In 2012 there were 5,196 animals and 6,789 plants classified as vulnerable, compared with 2,815 and 3,222, respectively, in 1998. [1]
