Solution

Rivet Popper Hypothesis explains loss of biodiversity.

Proposed by Paul R. Ehrlich, the Rivet Popper Hypothesis compares an ecosystem to an airplane and species to the rivets holding it together. Just as an airplane can lose a few rivets without immediate danger, an ecosystem may withstand the loss of some species.
