Biodiversity is the variety of life forms in an ecosystem. An ecosystem which is rich in biodiversity stabilises the net productivity and make the ecosystem more resistant to exotic species.
It maintains the ecosystem by maintaining the food chain. Healthy food chain contains a variety of organisms in each trophic level which helps in energy flow in successive trophic level. Therefore, biodiversity is important to the ecosystem.

Despite their close evolutionary relationship, typically subsumed taxonomically under a single group/subtribe called the Australopithecina - which includes both Gracile Australopithecines and Robust Australopithecines - nevertheless, they are classified as two separate genera (Australopithecus and Paranthropus respectively). In this week's discussion, compare and contrast several aspects of cranial anatomy that distinguish the genus Australopithecus from the genus Paranthropus. Do you think the functional properties of their skull anatomy allowed them to fulfill different environmental niches, allowing them to coexist (and coevolve) in the same habitat? (Hint: think about the chewing apparatus!)
