This learning resource focuses on the concept of biogeography and the impact of habitat fragmentation on species richness. Students will analyze two distinct prairie sites, comparing a large park adjacent to a wildlife refuge and a small isolated patch surrounded by urban development. They will apply the Theory of Island Biogeography to predict which site will exhibit greater species richness, considering factors like area and distance. Furthermore, students are encouraged to propose a technological solution to mitigate the negative effects of fragmentation and discuss its potential impact on species diversity over time, particularly examining the development of specialist versus generalist species in isolated environments.
