Identify incorrect statement
(A) More number of species are discovered in tropical then temperate countries
(B) According to I.U.C.N, the total no of plant & animal, species described is slightly, more than "1.5" million ,
(C) Ecological diversity of India is more than Norway
(D) Robert may places the global species diversity at about "7" millions.

More conservative and scientifically sound estimate made by Robert May places the global species diversity at about

Read the following statements : (A) India has a greater ecosystem diversity than Norway. (B) According to the IUCN (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is slightly more than 15 millions.

Out of more than 1.5 million known species, insects are __________ of the total animals.

Read the following statements : (A) Tropics harbour more species than temperate or polar areas. (B) Colombia located near the equator has nearly 1400 species of birds. (C ) India has less tha 105 species of birds.

Select the incorrect statement: (a) species diversity increases as we move from the poles towards the equator. (b) The number of species in tropical rain forests is minimum. (c) Columbia has nearly 1400 species of birds. (d) Diversity of communities over a landscape is termed as .. diversity.

Identify true or false in the following statements : (i) Team biodiversity was popularised by Edward Wilson to describe the combined hetrogeneity at all levels of biological organisation. (ii) More than 5000 genetically different varieties of mango occur in India. (iii) Western Ghats have greater amphibian species diversity as compared to Eastern Ghats. We could lose all wealth of biodiversity in less than two decades if the present rates of species losses continue.

Consider the following statements with respect to patterns of biodiversity . A. With very few exceptions, tropics (Iatitudinal range of 23.5^(@)N to 23.5^(@) S ) harbour more species than temperate or polar areas. B. In general, species diversity increases as we move away from the equator towards the poles . C. The diversity of plants and animals is uniform throghout the world but shows a rather even distribution . D. The largely tropical Amazonian rain forest in South America has the greatest biodiversity on earth. Of the above statements :

Select incorrect statements w.r.t. greater biological diversity in tropics (A) Tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of yeasrs and thus had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. (B) Tropical enviroments are more seasonal and less predictable than temperates. (C) There is more solar available which contributes to higher productivity.
