#3.3i
Know that biodiversity can be assessed at different scales:
- within a habitat at the species level using a formula to calculate an index of diversity:
\(D = \dfrac{N(N-1)}{\sum{n(n-1)}}\)
- within a species at the genetic level by looking at the variety of alleles in the gene pool of a population.
#3.3ii
Understand the ethical and economic reasons (ecosystem services) for the maintenance of biodiversity.
#3.3iii
Understand the principles of ex-situ (zoos and seed banks) and in-situ conservation (protected habitats), and the issues surrounding each method.
