GQ#7: Devil's Hole is a warm spring located within the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada, USA. It is said that this spring became isolated from other bodies of water in the area approximately 50, 000 years ago. It is the only habitat of the Devil's Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis), which cannot interbreed with other pupfish species (like the Ash Meadows pupfish, Cyprinodon nevadensis) from nearby springs. What mode of speciation is most probably responsible for this reproductive isolation?

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.
