Question

Who did propose "Rivet popper hypothesis"?

Answer 1

The Rivet Popper Hypothesis was proposed by Paul Ehrlich. The hypothesis suggests the importance of species richness in the maintenance of the ecosystem. The rivets of an aeroplane were compared with species in an ecosystem. If the passengers start to pop the rivets from the wings of the aeroplane, the aeroplane will not be able to perform its flight. So, if the species present in an ecosystem are reduced, the ecosystem will collapse.
