Countless animals, animals and microorganisms are occupying every corner from the mainland to the deep sea on our planet. They create this world, turn light into fuel, turn carbon and nitrogene between two inorganic and organic forms and . beautify park flower gardens. In many places, such as the tropics, hundreds of species coexist, while others such as the highlands have very few species. Biologists are trying to explain WHY?

What determines species diversity?

The interaction between the environment and living organisms and between living things together plays a key role in determining the high or low diversity, in addition to it it also affects from the level of distribution of humanity and relations. Hunting species - prey as well as other food networks. However, the exact mechanism of how different pressures can be combined to produce the diversity as we have seen so far is still a huge secret.

Challenges for increasing answers. The basic data is still too poor, for example, we absolutely do not know exactly how many species of plants and animals are present on the earth and with microorganisms it is even more terrible, we even Do not know where to start. When researchers detect evolution and the limits of diversity, they also face the problem of lack of a proper proportion of evolution because progress takes place over time. taste from a few days to a few million years. Furthermore, inside a species of mutated forms also occurs strongly, causing the skin's shape to increase and scientists like to fall in love. A question that so far has not been answered is whether genetic variation will create new species and what really impacts the differentiation of new species?

In order to better understand biodiversity, it is believed that this requires a global scale effort involving fossil evidence, laboratory and field research, comparison. Genome and in-depth statistical analysis. A number of major projects, such as ' the United Nations' Millennium Project ' and a program to look at global marine microbial genes, may help improve existing platform databases, but it also points to is 'small scratch on the skin' only. It is believed that models help designate when a dissociated species produces two new species. Now an emerging subdivision, evo-devo (progressive - degenerate), allows to detect how genes related to development can contribute to evolution. These synergistic efforts hope to help the body to repeat life history.

In fact, palaeontologists have taken many steps in detecting expansion or clustering of many groups of organisms calculated in millennia. They found that geographic distribution plays a very important role in species differentiation . It is hoped that future studies will help examine the overall mechanism of organism distribution and will provide many clues about the phenomenon of mass extinction as well as the catastrophic harm to the evolution of new species. .

From the results obtained in the field, the researchers found that the habitat of the species has a great influence on their morphology and behavior and especially the sex selection, consequently it will promote or control the function of species differentiation. Evolutionary biologists have also discovered that species differentiation can also be degraded, meaning that previously separated populations can reunite, so homosexuals avoid being dissociation. Evolutionary forces, such as low mutation rates or deviations from fecal reduction also greatly affect the rate of differentiation. The deviation from fecal reduction only one or more alleles has a chance to be passed from one generation to another higher than the other alleles in the process of division.

And in many cases, the nature of the ecosystem also causes differences in diversity: the ecosystem edge often has fewer species than the ecosystem core zone.

Evolutionary biologists are beginning to grope each link how all of these elements can be combined in many different ways to create so many groups of organisms. This requirement is increasingly urgent because it will show the nature of the wave of extinction in the world and help provide a reasonable prevention strategy.
