  • Hand holding a leaf. Almost entirely camouflaged on the leaf is an insect. Caption: with lots of moss on tree trunks and leaves

    Ten 10-minute programs explore temperate and tropical habitats and their abundant diversity of life. Tape one: compares temperate and tropical forests, their habitats, the effects of rain on them, and shows how size can generate great diversity. Tape two: uses butterflies to represent species diversity, compares how people relate to temperate and tropical environments, explores humans' impact on diversity, and investigates issues of threatened and endangered species.

  • Person standing on the deck of the boat with a crab cage in their hands. Ecosystem Service Creating Jobs. Caption: marshes provide many of the same benefits as oysters.

    Dr. Randall Hughes is examining diversity within the marsh. She discusses the diversity of the foundation species of a marsh: smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). Does having a greater diversity of genetically distinct plants make for a healthier marsh? Part of the series "In The Grass, On The Reef."

  • Close up of a frog's face and eyes. Caption: Now we are at 2,820 species of animals and plants.

    An important part of the conservation effort in Gorongosa National Park is to identify the species living in the park to ensure their protection and monitor their recovery. Every year, teams of scientists conduct biodiversity surveys in different areas of the park. Piotr Naskrecki leads a survey project in a particularly remote area, the limestone gorges of the Cheringoma Plateau, to study the bat population.

  • Illustration of the carbon cycle: Plants intake CO2, herbivores (giraffe) eat plants, carnivores (lion) eat herbivores, carnivores release CO2, and then plants absorb CO2. Caption: releases carbon dioxide back into the air.

    Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms that exist. The biodiversity of an environment is important because it helps keep the environment in a natural balance. An ecosystem which is species-rich is more resilient and adaptable to external stress than one in which the range of species is limited. Part of the "Biology" series.

  • Closeup of terraced moss on a hillside with water dripping from it. Caption: early land plants most likely lived in moist environments.

    The conquest of land by plants and their proliferation is an biologic story. This video highlights the evolution of plants, while also describing the major groupings of modern-day plants. Concepts and terminology include: chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments, cell wall, green algae, nonvascular plants, vascular plants, gymnosperm, angiosperm, alteration of generations, Bryophyta, Hepaticophyta, Anthocerotophyta, Pteridophyta, Lycophyta, Sphenophyta, Psilotophyta, Coniferophyta, Cycadophyta, Gnetophyta, Ginkgophyta, and Anthophyta.

  • An ant, Anochetus levaillanti. Caption: some have tons of hair; some have big spines.

    Ants play important roles in many ecosystems, and a team of scientists are surveying ant populations in Gorongosa Park. Leading the study is Leeanne Alonso, she is cataloging the different species of ants in Gorongosa National Park and establishing a species census to monitor the ongoing recovery of the park.

  • A baby elephant being helped to its feet by the trunk of an adult elephant. Caption: If all goes well, they'll share in the mothering.

    Across the animal kingdom, some of the most essential lessons-and the most extreme challenges-occur in the first moments of life. From ostrich to orangutan, egg sac to live birth, infanticide to matricide, the diversity of behaviors between parent and progeny is as great as the diversity of life on our planet. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.

  • Rocky coastline. Caption: Life learned to use sunlight to develop

    Millions of years ago, a group of bacteria, the cyanobacteria, developed a new way to harness energy from the sun. This new development had important consequences for the evolution of both the atmosphere and the diversity of life on Earth.
