The Sixth Extinction Annotations Chapter 6


  • prolouge 
  • 7
  • talking about man
  • talking about how humans spread throut the world
  • also talking avout how we killed species off
  • they are creating artificial evolution
  • we have extincted many organisms
  • big 5 extiction events
  • this book will talk about how we are causing the 6 extinction
  • beginig talkjs about how it came
  • 2nd part will talk about what will hapen
  • 8
  • emblematic: represetitive

  • castello aragonse is small italian island
  • plate tectonics volcanic?
  • bad for acidification acid rain connection
  • special bacteria thing that eats te co2 and poops stone
  • the acid kills of sstuf on seawead so it looks greber possible indicator tool?
  • what are limpets
  • hapless:unlucky
  • green house effect is serioius and i ncreasing
  • we are addin co2 to ocean by adding to greenhouse effect
  • scale is logarithmic so semengly small chssnge 
  • very serious progection
  • 75
  • study first dine in lab but acid from vents allows natural expeimnet
  • shows that with progected acidiity organisms will start to die off
  • will c ause ecosystem and food web to crash
  • the bacteria stuf that has calcites shells is affected bittom of foodweb so big impact
  • important sea snail fopr bigger predators absent
  • sma;ll plankton excell and take nutrients whic is bad for other organismas
  • 77 big factor in extinctioin of ocean life in other extinctions
  • acidifcation affects ability to metabolize ezme activity and protiuen function
  • 78
  • calcifyer are mad e even harder to cary out process
  • bc bones are calcified anotehr large effect
  • 7.8 hurts sthem particiulaly1/33 of co2 pump out hgas been absorbed
  • soem  think it sthe volcanoe sbut cars polute way more co2

chapter 7

  • corals are calcifiers also
  • 82
  • corals buiild cityies and then suppport organisms
  • predicted to go extict
  • results were sostartling in the beging that they want to drop them'
  • corals grow as high asa water level
  • grow from 30 degrees to 30 degrees
  • faield artificial ocean experiminet allowed for ph to get very low and stay
  • direct relationship betwween calcium saturaion and coral groth
  • as the satuation decreaes the g=coral growth and diverity goes away
  • if the corals die so do occupentsoverfishing
  • ag. runofff
  • deforstation
  • when get sto hot coral sympiotic relatoionship fatrming breaks down becme white
  • stop grwoing and die off
  • they observe a lunar cycle 
  • start mating in mass
  • low ph will affect how the corals are able to spawn


  • chapter 8
  • most biodiverse nearthe eqator
  • salient: most noticable
  • any new species bieng found in artic
  • plots are ceperate by tembeture
  • the forrest is in motion 
  • differebnt trees better suited for the climate change
  • things are moving away from equator bc too hot
  • developed ways to deal with the heat
  • almost al organisms have adjusted to seasonal changes
  • world has been in a cooling phase
  • ice ages were caused by gravatiational tugs of planetary masses

  • darwin sugested migrations\
  • warming is happening 10 times faster
  • species area relationship is clodseset biology equivilent to periiodic table
  • "
  • self-evident. The larger the area you sample, the greater the number of species

  • you will encounter.
  • "
  • Rather, it’s a curve that slopes in a predictable way. Usually, the relationship is expressed by

  • the formula S = cA

  • z

  • , where S is the number of species, A is the size of the area, and c and z
  • not immedieate
  • cuve
  • no dispersal is bleak but not the case
  • fast makes it so that population dcreases bc physically less area when moving fast
  • both would g=cause extinction of many speciess
  • bc birdas are migrating away from equator 
  • need to adapt to handel heat
