Biodiversity Measurement

What is species richness?

• The average size of a species

• The age distribution of a species

• Species richness refers to the number of different species present in a given area or ecosystem.

• The number of individuals within a species

What is species evenness?

• Species evenness is a measure of how evenly the individuals of different species are distributed in a given area or community.

• Species evenness is a measure of how many species are present in a given area.

• Species evenness is a measure of how dominant a particular species is in a community.

• Species evenness refers to the total number of individuals in a community.

Which term refers to the relative abundance of different species in a given area?

• Biodiversity

• Climate change

• Habitat destruction

• Species richness

What is habitat diversity?

• Habitat diversity is the number of different species within a specific area

• Habitat diversity refers to the variety of different habitats within a specific area, including different types of ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.

• Habitat diversity is the measure of the size of a specific area

• Habitat diversity refers to the variety of weather patterns within a specific area

Which term refers to the variety of different habitats in a given area?

• Homogeneity

• Uniformity

• Biodiversity

• Monoculture

What is genetic diversity?

• Genetic diversity refers to the variety of different types of genes in a species or population.

• Genetic diversity only refers to the physical appearance of an organism.

• Genetic diversity is the same as genetic modification.

• Genetic diversity is not important for the survival of a species.

Which term refers to the variety of genes within a species or population?

• Population homogeneity

• Genetic diversity

• Species uniformity

• Gene similarity

Which Method is used for measuring biodiversity for water animals and birds?

• Canopy fogging

• Mist netting

• Transect Sampling

• Aerial Photos

Canopy fogging is mainly used to measure biodiversity of

• Animals

• Birds

• Insects

• Fishes

Quadrat Sampling is a method used by scientists when

• The area is too large to measure and almost accurate data is required.

• there are very little organisms to check for.

• there is no biodiversity in the given area

• measuring biodiversity of worms and snakes.
