Biologists who study biodiversity describe new species and monitor species of which we are aware. Why is the study of biodiversity important in the Anthropocene?
A. The study of biodiversity is important
because it provides information about the
number of species that go extinct every 1000

B. The study of biodiversity is important
because it helps quantify the effects of
human actions on changes in the traits of
many populations (size, density, distribution).
C. The study of biodiversity is important
because many politicians are biologists and
they can influence government policy.
D. The study of biodiversity is important
because if we don't count all the species on
the planet, then we won't be able to identify
more potential sources of food.
