How do artificial and natural contribute to biodiversity?

Natural habitats tend to contribute to biodiversity, by clear predator-prey interactions and by definite niches up and down the food web. They have worked this out over time. So they can be shaken up by the introduction of non-natives that have not taken part in this process. For example, the pecan industry in Georgia was concerned about pecan-eating aphids. Native ladybugs were not effective controls. So Asian ladybugs were introduced, but without their natural controls and enemies. They solved the pecan-eating aphid problem. But they became serious pests of grapes. Just one of them in wine ruined the entire bottle. And they preyed on native ladybug food sources, and on native ladybugs. In contrast, artificial habitats tend to contribute to biodiversity, by protection of types of environments and life forms that are vanishing. That is one of the roles of apiaries, aquaria, water gardens, and zoos. It tends to be less complete a habitat than the natural. For many pieces of the jigsaw picture may be missing.

What is likely to happen to Tasmanian devils in the future?

Due to the increasing prevalence of the fatal Devil Facial Tumour Disease, predictions are that the only Tasmanian devils remaining will be those in zoos and sanctuaries, and in protective captivity breeding programmes. The current population trend is decreasing, but moves to breed more genetically diverse Tasmanian devils with higher levels of immunity have been very successful. Plans are afoot to release healthy Tasmanian devils onto islands off Tasmania, where they can help to improve the biodiversity of those islands.
