EVOLUTION CONNECTION Merriam’s kangaroo rats(Dipodomys merriami) live in North American habitatsranging from moist, cool woodlands to hot deserts. Basedon the hypothesis that there are adaptive differences inwater conservation between D. merriami populations,predict how the rates of evaporative water loss would differfor populations that live in moist versus dry environments.Propose a test of your prediction, using a humidity sensor todetect evaporative water loss by kangaroo rats

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
