Tropical regions account for greater biological diversity because of the following reasons, except:
Tropical regions account for greater biological diversity because of the following reasons, except:
Updated On: Nov 4, 2024
- Higher productivity due to more availability of solar energy
- Lower predation due to diversity of food availability
- Tropics are less seasonal and relatively more constant and predictable
- These latitudes are relatively undisturbed for many years, leading to a long evolutionary time for diversification
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Contrary to the statement, predation pressure is higher in tropical regions due to complex food webs and high species diversity. Predation and competition contribute to species richness in these ecosystems, rather than reducing diversity.
