Lesson 14: Biodiversity and Population

Guide Card
Introduction
Organisms need a balanced ecosystem. A balanced ecosystem is one that allows all living
and non-living things to interact successfully. If any part of the ecosystem is disturbed, other parts
will also be disturbed. Different parts of the ecosystem interact with one another. Changes to one
part affect the other parts. When all the members of a species die, that species’ become extinct in
the ecosystem. What could possibly happen if a certain species become extinct? How would this
reduced diversity affect the community of species? Does loss of biodiversity affect an organism’s
ability to sustain and to perform certain functions that may contribute to the needs of that
ecosystem?

Now that you are done with the pre-test, let’s take a recap of your previous lesson.

Review / What’s In
Answer the following questions:

1. What is an organism? ...species?

2. What is an ecosystem?
3. What are the two factors of an ecosystem?
4. What is meant by balanced ecosystem?
5. How do plants and animals interact with one another?

In this module, you will study the importance of biodiversity and how population affects biodiversity.

 Study figures 1 and 2. Picture yourself swimming and diving in the Tubbataha Reef Marine park
where very high densities of marine organisms are found. What organisms are in figure 1? How many
different kinds of organisms do you think you will see? Now, imagine yourself standing at a coconut
plantation. Which species do you think dominates this area? The Tubbataha Reef Marine Park has many
populations. You can see hundreds of different species of organisms, unlike in a coconut plantation, only
one species dominates.

Now work on the activity to find out the amount of biodiversity and species distribution in a
community.

Discussion of the Activity

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the area. A population is a group of living things of the
same species within a certain area. Several different populations may be found in a community. A
population of one kind may affect a population of another kind within the community. Differences in
population density in any community may be attributed to many factors. Limiting factors keep a
population from increasing in size and help balance an ecosystem such as availability of food, water, and
living conditions. Light, temperature and soil nutrients are also included because they determine the types
of organisms that can live in an ecosystem.

So far, you have learned about biodiversity and population density. Perform the next activity to
find out if you have fully understood the importance of biodiversity.

Lesson 15: Extinction of Species

Guide Card
Introduction
How many species are we losing?
Life depends on life. Animals cannot exist without green plants. Living things create niches for
other living things. But what happens if the living conditions of these organisms are not ideal for their
survival? What do you think are the major causes of species extinction?
Extinction is the disappearance of a species when the last of its members die. Changes to habitats
can threaten organisms with extinction. As populations of people increase, the impact of their growth and
development is altering the face of the Earth and pushing many other organisms to the brink of extinction.
Each time species goes extinct, the world around us unravels a bit. The consequences are profound, not
just in those places and for those species, but for all of us.

Learning Competency
In this module, you are expected to :
Relate species extinction to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt to abrupt changes in
the environment. S9LT-Ie-f30

Objectives:

 Describe different factors that can cause extinction of species
 Relate how human activities contribute to species extinction

As you study this module, you will find answers to the following:

 What are the factors causing extinction of species?
 How can changes in the environment affect the continued survival of the species?

 You probably need to know more about the causes of extinction of species. To do this, you must
read the short story below.
. THE STORY OF LOLONG….

Are you familiar with the story of Lolong? Who is Lolong? How old is Lolong? Is Lolong still alive?
The Philippines is the home of the largest saltwater crocodile (crocodylus porosus) in captivity as of
2011. The croc (buwaya) in question was “Lolong”. Lolong was one unique reptile from Agusan del Sur
in Mindanao. From 2011-2013 he held the world title, The Largest Saltwater Crocodile in captivity at
that time and that title was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. Weighing in at 2,370
pounds, Lolong was king of his kind

Lolong was captured in his habitat, the Agusan Marsh, a protected wildlife sanctuary in the Agusan
Basin in Eastern Mindanao .When finally captured in 2011,Lolong was so immense that it took 60 men to
subdue and harness him before he was transported to his new home. The creature was named after
prominent Palawan crocodile hunter Ernesto “Lolong” Coñate. “Lolong” is a derivative of “lolo” the
Filipino term for grandfather . Coñate had led the search for the notorious man-eating crocodile but
suffered a fatal heart attack a few days before the croc was captured in September 2011. Hence, the
captured croc was named in his honor.

An Australian doctor, Dr. Adam Britton, estimated Lolong to have been roughly 50 (human) years
old. When Lolong died in February 2013, the necropsy revealed that the crocodile expired from a variety
of causes: multiple organ failure, muscular atrophy, stress, and eventually, pneumonia caused by his
confinement in a very small pen with a concrete bottom without the water depth he needed to feel safe.

At present, LOLONG’s hide and skeleton can be viewed at the Museum of Natural History in Manila.

1. How old is Lolong?

2. Who killed Lolong?
3. Where did his name LOLONG come from?

Discussion of the Activity
Extinction is the disappearance of a species when the last of its members die. When a species
population becomes so low that only a few remain, the species is considered endangered that will possibly
become extinct. In the Philippines, some terrestrial species like the tamaraw in Mindoro, mouse deer
in Palawan, Philippine deer, Monkey-eating eagle, and aquatic species like the dugong found in Negros,
Batangas, and Leyte are in danger of extinction. Sometimes, there is a particular species that declines so
fast that it becomes endangered and is said to be threatened.

In a study conducted by field biologists on population size and distribution of Philippine fauna,
they reported that as of 1991, 89 species of birds, 44 species of mammals, and eight species of reptiles are
internationally recognized as threatened. Some threatened species are whale sharks, tarsiers, and
pawikan. There are probable causes of extinction of species and that includes habitat destruction,
introduction of new species, pollution, population growth, and overconsumption or overharvesting
(HIPPO).

Lesson 16: Local and Global Issues on Extinction of Species

Guide Card
Introduction
Many changes take place in the communities. You may have noticed that the natural vegetation in
an area has been cleared. Concrete structures and increasing populations of people and other organisms
gradually take over the area. Perhaps, some areas were destroyed by natural disasters or by human
activities. Just as vegetation changes, animal populations also change. These may have major effects on
the ecosystem causing replacement of communities or development of a new environment.

The environment encompasses the whole of life on earth and the complex interactions that link the
living world with the physical world. It covers everything contained within in the air, land, and water.
Sudden and dramatic natural changes to the environment have occurred, and will continue to occur, which
have the potential to upset the whole balance of the Earth's ecosystem.
