Los humanos van camino de extinguir a todos los demás primates• En medio siglo habrán desaparecido el 75% de las especies
de simios, monos y lémures• El 60% ya están amenazados o en peligro

El cambio global arrastra organismos
En un solo día desaparecen 70 especies, (100-1000 mas rápido que la tasa natural)

Dos mensajes1. La biodiversidad está amenazada2. La biodiversidad es algo mas que el número
de especies: es la base del funcionamiento de los ecosistemas y de los servicios que nos brindan

Outline• Biodiversity is threatened by climate change, threatening in
turn many of the ecosystem services that maintain our lives and the functioning of the biosphere.
• The changes and impacts are here to stay. They are not predictions or remote, future scenarios
![Page 14: Conferencia: Las diversas caras de la biodiversidad](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022081515/589cbad21a28ab8b018b4769/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Outline• Species, the bricks of biodiversity, can be seen as alternative
solutions to changing challenges. • Biodiversity also encapsulates the notion of intraspecific
variability and population differentiation so the portfolio of responses includes a range of alternatives on local adaptation and plasticity that we are just beginning to uncover.

Regresando a la biodiversidad…

• High biodiversity ensures ecosystem stability in face of environmental changes, becausesome species are able to resist to disturbances,the loss of some species and their functions might be
compensated by others,species can adapt to environmental changes.
Analogy to economics: the portfolio effectlong-standing principle in economics that more diversified
portfolios are less volatile, because the sum of many items is less variable than the average item.

Niche complementarity Each species plays a specific role in the ecosystem
(has its own niche)In sum they are more efficient than each individual species

• Scientists from 90 institutions consolidated field-based data forming one of the largest global forest inventory databases in the history of forestry research.
• Tens of thousands of forestry professionals collected the underpinning data, which extended over a period of 150 years.
• In total, data was collected from more than 770,000 plots consisting of more than 30 million trees across more than 8,700 species.
• The study took into account all major global forest ecosystems across 44 countries and territories. It included some of the most distinct forest conditions on Earth, such as the northernmost in Siberia; the southernmost in Patagonia; the coldest in Oimyakon, Russia; the warmest in Palau, an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean; and the most diverse in Bahia, Brazil

As forests go, so goes the economy
![Page 28: Conferencia: Las diversas caras de la biodiversidad](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022081515/589cbad21a28ab8b018b4769/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Researchers calculated that the amount of loss in productivity that is associated with the loss of tree species richness would have an economic value of up to a $500 billion per year across the world.
• That amounts to more than double what it would cost to implement effective conservation for all of Earth’s ecosystems on a global scale.
• The strongest economic message of this study is that the economic benefit of forest species diversity far exceeds the cost of preserving it, even when we only consider its role in maintaining the global commercial productivity of forests.

The ongoing species loss in global forests could substantially reduce forest productivity, thereby reducing the absorption of carbon dioxide by forests from the atmosphere.
Therefore, conserving forest biodiversity should be one of the important actions on what we can do about climate change.

Cascadas ecológicas
An ecological cascade effect is a series of secondary extinctions that is triggered by the primary extinction of a key species in an ecosystem.
An example: cascade effect caused by the loss of a top predator (sea otters, Enhydra lutris).
![Page 41: Conferencia: Las diversas caras de la biodiversidad](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022081515/589cbad21a28ab8b018b4769/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cascadas ecológicas
The loss of a top predator (sea otters, Enhydra lutris).
Starting before the 17th century and not phased out until 1911, sea otters were hunted aggressively for their pelts, which caused a cascade effect through the kelp forest ecosystems along the Pacific Coast of North America.
One of the sea otters’ primary food sources is the sea urchin (Echinoidea), which experienced an ecological release. The sea urchins then overexploited their main food source, kelp, creating urchin barrens where no life exists.
No longer having food to eat, the sea urchins populations became locally extinct as well. The loss of the kelp ultimately caused their extinction.

Conclusiones 1. Las amenazas a la biodiversidad son en realidad
amenazas a nuestro propio bienestar
2. La biodiversidad encapsula muchos conceptos, mas alla de la riqueza de especies: variabilidad genética, estructura de poblaciones, relaciones interespecificas
3. La biodiversidad es la base para la multifuncionalidad de los ecosistemas y el mejor seguro ante cambios ambientales importantes
