Gotelli discusses how environmental stochasticity influences extinction, arguing that a scaling relationship between the mean and variance of population growth rate (r) determine extinction risk. What is the scaling relationship? О а. Environmental stochasticity doesn't influence extinction risk O b. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is double the mean С. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean squared d. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean е. Extinction will occur if the variance in r goes to 0

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.
