From Ants to Grizzlies: A General Rule for Saving Biodiversity
E.O. Wilson’s pioneering work studying ants on islands uncovered the relationship between species diversity and island size. Today, human development is shrinking habitats on land and turning them into islands in a sea of humanity. HHMI BioInteractive’s classroom film, “From Ants to Grizzlies: A General Rule for Saving Biodiversity” connects Wilson’s experiments to today’s real-world conservation efforts to expand and connect protected areas to protect wildlife species, like wolves and grizzlies, that need substantial space to survive.
