Scholarly Article Precis

Andrew Morozov's article in the Journal of Theoretical Biology titled Abundance patterns in multi-species communities exposed to habitat destruction (2008) argues the severity of habitat destruction in the world. Morozov uses numerous examples supported by statistical analysis of each situation containing percentage of the habitat permanently lost as well as recolonization rates. In this article, Morozov appears to be stressing the importance of habitat conservation in all environments to support biodiversity. Morozov appears to be aiming his article toward biological professionals such as wildlife biologists as well as other powerful individuals capable of affecting change in the realm of conservation.
