estinzione

Also known as species extinction, extinctions, species extinctions, dying out, going extinct, taxon extinction, extinction of species, extinction of taxa

scomparsa di specie viventi

AI overview

Extinction is when a species or group of organisms completely disappears and no longer exists anywhere on Earth, like the thylacine that died out in recent times or ancient creatures like Palaeotherium that we only know about through fossils. It matters because once a species goes extinct, it's gone forever, and the loss of different species changes ecosystems and reduces the diversity of life on our planet.

L'estinzione nella biologia è la scomparsa di una determinata specie o taxon di organismi viventi: è contrapposta alla speciazione, il processo opposto per cui una nuova specie nasce a partire da una preesistente.
