Question

Which of the following ecological locations has the greatest species diversity?
A) tundra
B) deciduous forests
C) tropics
D) grasslands
E) islands

Accepted Answer

The tropics are home to the most diverse range of species in the world due to their warm and humid climate, allowing for year-round plant growth and higher rates of evolution and speciation. Studies have shown that up to two-thirds of all plant and animal species are found in tropical rainforests, making this the location with the greatest species diversity.
