the smallest topographic unit of a habitat with some uniformity is a biotope, such as a sandy beach
microhabitat is a term for the conditions and organisms in the immediate vicinity of a plant or animal
loss of habitat is the primary reason that species are lost and protecting habitat is the priority for conservation
if reserves were judiciously placed over identified hot spots of biodiversity (the special places where vulnerable species are concentrated), a large fraction of species might be saved - examples are Madagascar and the Philippines
cooperative building of structures happens with humans, prairie dogs, rats, beavers, some weaver finches, wasps, bees, termites, and others
rats' tunnel systems rival the catacombs in complexity
the form of social organization is likely to be set partly by characteristics of the species' habitat and the habitat influences ritualization
a habitat is occupied by many species and a home is a place within it for a particular species - where it can protect itself
the largest habitats are oceans, wetlands, forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, and polar regions
