A special talk on "Life Lives On The Edge - The Biodiversity" at St. Mary's Higher Secondary School, Dindigul-Dt. (04.05.2018).
‘Values of
biodiversity’ are classified as
three main types. 1. Resources 2. Potential resources 3. Contributory factors. For
example, the biological materials are consumed in markets which are valued for
their recreational or aesthetic purposes. It is called as Resources category. Whereas,
an opportunities for the discovery of new product is called as Potential
resources. In last part, the functional role in ecosystem like ‘Niche’ is
called as Contributory factors.

"Biocenosis"
means
different species like plants, animals, microbes and human beings interact to
form a beautiful community or eco-system. This interaction between living organisms
in the eco-system called as biotic factors. Species also dependent upon abiotic
factors. The main function is flow of energy from one trophic level to another
level transferred. From this concept, ecosystem sustain the structure like
functional unit.

A special lecture on "Biodiversity-An Exploration of Life" at RVS College of Education, Dindigul-Dt. (13.03.2018).
I have stressed the importance of Marine Biodiversity, particularly "Microbial community of intertidal zone" in Rameshewaram area, Ramanathapuram Dt. It is a very harsh living environment. They are constantly facing challenges such as salinity, wind, sunlight, predators and strong water currents. It helps with these difficulties many organisms have “special adaptation” features.
