Questions and Answers

What pattern of species diversity is observed when comparing small areas of similar habitat in the tropics versus temperate regions?

  • Similar diversity in both regions
  • Higher diversity in temperate regions
  • Higher diversity in tropical regions (correct)
  • Lower diversity in tropical regions

    • At what scale do latitudinal gradients in species diversity typically hold?

  • Only at medium scales
  • Only at very large scales
  • At both small and large scales (correct)
  • Only at very small scales

    • What is true about species diversity gradients in the tropics versus temperate regions?

  • They show higher diversity in tropical regions (correct)
  • They are inconsistent, varying from one region to another
  • They are reversed, with higher diversity in temperate regions
  • They are similar, with no clear pattern
