Explain, giving three reasons, why tropics show greatest levels of species diversity. |

Answer» i. Tropical latitude have remained relatively undisturbed and have had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. ii. Tropical environments have less seasonal variations, more constant and predictable environmental conditions. This promotes niche specialisation for greater species diversity. iii. There is more availability of solar energy which contributes to higher productivity. |
