Biodiversity

AP Biology· difficulty 2/5

Species diversity has two components:

  • A

    Habitat richness (number of biomes) and habitat evenness (relative area)

  • B

    Genetic richness (allele variation) and genetic evenness (allele frequency)

  • C

    Trophic richness (number of levels) and trophic evenness (energy per level)

  • D

    Species richness (number of species) and species evenness (relative abundance)

Two communities can have the same richness but very different evenness; both contribute to overall diversity.
