Wildlife Conservation Terminology & Seasonal Changes

  • Biodiversity refers to the variety of life found; where more diverse populations are more resilient.
  • Population dynamics is the up and down swings of a wildlife population across space and time.
  • Limiting factors  are items in short supply.  Each species requires certain, cover,  habitat structure and size.
  • Fragmentation impacts biodiversity. Some species become isolated and can't maintain viable populations sizes, while others require large home ranges to survive.
  • Endangered and threatened species refer to declining populations.​
  • Reintroductions is the intentional return of wildlife via relocation.  Repopulation is a natural process where wildlife returns on their own as suitable habitat becomes available.
  • Invasive Species disrupt naturally occurring  ecosystems.
