Genetic diversity is essential for evolutionary adaptation. Diversity is also essential for individuals to communicate through visual, auditory and/or olfactory signals. In this presentation, I will present examples of the diversity of species we can find in our local biodiversity using stories of how they are interdependent. I will also address the role of within-species diversity (genetics) by focusing on the life of the common American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus).
