Consideriamo le seguenti affermazioni riguardanti la biodiversità
Quale delle affermazioni sopra riportate è corretta?
Soluzione: D
La biodiversità è una contrazione del termine “diversità biologica” che si riferisce alla varietà tra e tra gli organismi viventi. Il termine diversità biologica fu usato per primo da Arthur Harris (1916), un botanico americano nel suo articolo "The Variable Desert" pubblicato su una rivista scientifica chiamata The Scientific Monthly..
Il termine "biodiversità" è stato coniato per la prima volta da Walter G. Rosen nel 1985.
Il termine “hotspot della biodiversità” è stato coniato da Norman Myers (1988). Ha riconosciuto 10 foreste tropicali come "hotspot" sulla base dello straordinario livello di endemismo vegetale e dell'alto livello di perdita di habitat, senza alcun criterio quantitativo per la designazione dello status di "hotspot". Due anni dopo, aggiunse altri otto hotspot e il numero di hotspot nel mondo salì a 18 (Myers 1990).
Successivamente, Conservation International in associazione con Myers ha effettuato il primo aggiornamento sistematico degli hotspot e ha introdotto i seguenti due rigorosi criteri quantitativi affinché una regione possa qualificarsi come hotspot:
(i) Deve contenere almeno 1.500 specie di piante vascolari (> 0,5% del totale mondiale) come endemiche;
(ii) Deve aver perso ≥ 70% del suo habitat naturale originario.

0.5% of the world's total) as endemics; (ii) It has to have lost ≥ 70% of its original native habitat. Solution: D . The term, "biodiversity" was first coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1985. The term ‘biodiversity hotspot’ was coined by Norman Myers (1988). He recognized 10 tropical forests as "hotspots" on the basis of extraordinary level of plant endemism and high level of habitat loss, without any quantitative criteria for the designation of "hotspot" status. Two years later, he added eight more hotspots, and the number of hotspots in the world increased to 18 (Myers 1990). Subsequently, the Conservation International in association with Myers made the first systematic update of the hotspots, and introduced the following two strict quantitative criteria, for a region to qualify as a hotspot: (i) It must contain at least 1,500 species of vascular plants (> 0.5% of the world's total) as endemics; (ii) It has to have lost ≥ 70% of its original native habitat.

An ecosystem pyramid gives thought to the dietary patterns of various living creatures. It gives data about the biodiversity of a region. It helps in keeping up with equilibrium and helps in checking the entire state of a biological ecosystem.

Solution: C The purpose of the Biodiversity Act The Act also covers the protection of traditional knowledge and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of such knowledge. The Biodiversity Act – 2002 primarily addresses issues of conservation, sustainable use of biological resources in the country, issue related to access to genetic resources and associated knowledge and fair and equitable Can molecular marker assisted breeding/selection be considered as ‘Conventional Breeding’ (as this is mentioned under Commercial utilization). Molecular marker aided selection is not yet considered as conventional breeding Whether it is necessary to seek approval of NBA by the applicants who filed patent applications before coming into force of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and BD Rules 2004 (i.e. before 1st July 2004) ? No. Patent applications filed prior to the coming into force of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and Rules 2004 (01st July 2004) do not come under the purview of the Act Is it necessary to seek NBA's approval for video graphing and camera trapping to record the behaviour of animals? No. For an activity to be covered within the scope of Biological Diversity Act, 2002, it should be a regulated activity under either section 3 or 4 or 6 or 20 of the Act. Thus, the activity of "video graphing" and "camera trapping" do not fall within the regulatory scope of the Act and therefore no approval is required from NBA Solution: C The purpose of the Biodiversity Act The Act also covers the protection of traditional knowledge and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of such knowledge.
