71. What are some economic applications that can be generated by very biodiverse ecosystems?
Very biodiverse areas present enormous economic potential. They can be source of raw material for the research and production of medicines, cosmetics, chemical products, and food. They are depository of genetic wealth that can be explored by biotechnology. They are source of species for agriculture. They can also be explored by the ecological tourism.
72. What are the main causes of the loss of the biological diversity nowadays?
The biggest dangers to the biological diversity today are fruits of the human action. The main of them is the destruction of habitats caused by the growth of the cities, deforestation, pollution, and fires. The second is the invasion of ecosystems by nonnative species introduced by humans; these species change the equilibrium of ecosystems causing harm. Other big dangers are the predatory hunting and fishing and the global warming.
73. What is inharmonious ecological interaction?
Inharmonious, or negative, ecological interaction is that in which at least one of the participating beings is harmed.
74. How are ecological interactions classified?
Ecological interactions are classified as intraspecific or interspecific interactions and as harmonious or inharmonious interactions.
75. What are intraspecific and interspecific ecological interactions?
Intraspecific ecological interactions are those between individuals of the same species. Interspecific ecological interactions are ecological interactions between individuals of different species.
76. What is inharmonious ecological interaction?
Inharmonious, or negative, ecological interaction is that in which at least one of the participating beings is harmed.
77. What is harmonious ecological interaction?
Harmonious, or positive, ecological interaction is that in which none of the participating beings is harmed.
78. What are the main intraspecific ecological interactions?
The main harmonious intraspecific ecological interactions are colonies and societies. The main inharmonious intraspecific ecological interactions are intraspecific competition and cannibalism.

79. What are colonies and societies?
Colonies are functional integrated aggregates formed by individuals of the same species. Colonies are often confounded with a single individual. Examples are the coral reefs, by-the-wind sailors, and filamentous algae.
Societies are interactions for labor division and collaboration among individuals of the same species. Human societies are examples of ecological societies; other species, like bees, ants, termites, wolves and dolphins form societies.
80. What is competition? Which type of ecological interaction is competition?
Competition is the ecological interaction in which the individuals explore the same ecological niche or their ecological niches partially coincide and therefore competition for the same environmental resources takes place.
Competition is harmful for all participating beings and thus it is classified as an inharmonious (negative) ecological interaction.
