Best Answer

The mobility of the species allows it to more readily find a mate as it can move from place to place in search of one. Immobile species must rely on finding mates that are in close proximity to themselves. Therefore, it is an advantage for immobile species to be hermaphrodites as any other member of its species that it is near would be a viable mate.

How does the extinction of various species results in a less diverse ecosystem?

The diversity of an ecosystem is how many different species (or types of organisms) there are. If a species becomes extinct, then there is 1 less species in that ecosystem and there is less diversity. If more than one species dies out, then the diversity is decreased by more than one organism.
