If your cat or dog has diarrhea accompanied by fever, vomiting, blood in the stool, or lethargy, consult your veterinarian immediately, as these are serious symptoms. In these cases, hospitalization, antibiotics, and IV fluids might be necessary to treat your pet.
Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of life either in a particular place or on the entire Earth, including its ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus seeks to protect lifeâs variety at all levels of biological organization.
Thomas Lovejoy, in the foreword to the book Conservation Biology, introduced the term to the scientific community. Until then the term natural diversity was common, introduced by The Science Division of The Nature Conservancy in an important 1975 study, The Preservation of Natural Diversity.
