Questions:
1. How do anthropogenic activities such as agriculture and urbanization impact soil biodiversity, and what are the potential implications of soil biodiversity loss for ecosystem function?
2. Explain the concept of evolutionary rescue in the context of species' responses to environmental change. What are some key factors that can facilitate or impede evolutionary rescue?
3. Discuss the mechanisms and consequences of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems, and the potential cascading effects on global biogeochemical cycles.
4. How do ecological interactions such as mutualisms and antagonisms shape community structure and function? Provide examples.
5. Describe the concept of keystone species and their role in maintaining ecosystem stability and biodiversity.
6. Explain the mechanisms and potential implications of the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment.
7. Discuss the challenges and potential solutions for conservation of migratory species that traverse multiple habitats and countries.
8. How do land-use change and habitat fragmentation influence the spread of zoonotic diseases, and what are some potential strategies for mitigating the risk of disease emergence?
9. Explain the concept of ecological tipping points and their implications for ecosystem stability and resilience.
10. Discuss the potential ecological and socio-economic impacts of large-scale bioenergy production on land use, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
