I hope this doesn%26#039;t sound like a totally inane question? But I recently read that we are losing approximately
three species of organisms every day. Are we gaining any new organisms to fill these %26#039;empty%26#039; niches...or is globalization just allowing existing species to proliferate and fill the niches themselves? In short...are any new species developing?
no we are not gaining any species. If there is a %26quot;new%26quot; species that means it was only recently discovered and that usually happens in the tropical rain forests.
I don%26#039;t know but I hope so. I hope in 50 yrs. we still have a planet, organisms, %26amp; animals to still look at. I%26#039;m affraid global warming is going to ruin everything.
Even though we are finding new species everyday, yes many are dieing everyday. The new ones we are finding are very small and rare, and many are not NEW they just haven%26#039;t been documented or found by modern humans yet that documented it. There was a recent rediscovery of a prehistoric fish found in two seas off of Africa and off of India (obviously it%26#039;s not new and it wasn%26#039;t extinct however it evaded us for these many of years but I believe due to the carbon levels and heat their numbers are rising and so people are catching them more when fishing, but before they didn%26#039;t have enough numbers to be stumbled upon)
Anyways, I think more are being killed off then being created. And there%26#039;s not enough mutations to keep up with the changes either... we%26#039;re loosing valuable species.
well for one there are the ligers and tigons...but nature didn%26#039;t do it...
but for real there are new species being discovered everyday...and even when they say the species is gone, often they have a way to come back...
also they say the Anisazi are gone but you can%26#039;t tell them that...
Humanity is spreading across the face of the Earth and taking up the space once used by many other species. Who knows? In a few centuries, there may be only humans and their pets on this planet, with the exception of animals kept in zoos and for entertainment.
This is sad, but it may become fact. Look into what is being done to preserve other species-- without putting them in zoos or other human-run facilities. How are they being kept wild? We cannot take over this planet! It is not ours alone.
