question_answer 52)

  There is greater biodiversity in tropical/subtropical regions than intemperate region. Explain.

Answer:

                  The tropical/subtropical region exhibit maximum biological diversity because these region remain undisturbed due to less variable climatic conditions. So, tropics had a longer evolutionary time for species diversification. The temperate environment are more seasonal, less constant and unpredictable, therefore less niche specialization and lesser species diversity are observed.
