Extinction
The loss of a group of organisms
Biodiversity
Speciation rate + extinction rate
Extinction representation
Represented by phylogenetic tree by a branch that does not extend to the present
Extinct species example
Dodo bird
Bali Tiger

Species loss
Current biodiversity loss is due to human activities
Example: habitat destruction, pollutions , climate change
Divergent evolution
When populations become separated by geographic barriers evolve independently into their own species
