The number of different species in a biosphere is called?
Biodiversity is the term used to describe the variety of different species present in a biosphere. It includes genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more stable and resilient it tends to be.
How does biodiversity change with latitude and area?
Biodiversity generally decreases with increasing latitude, as the number of species tends to decline towards the poles. In contrast, biodiversity increases with larger areas as larger habitats can support more diverse ecosystems and species. This is due to the availability of more niches and resources in larger areas.
How does adaptations affect the diversity of a species?
Adaptations make the species different from other species, and if they are passed down, they will make more species with these differences.
Give three types of biodiversity essential in preserving ecological systems and functions?
Three types of biodiversity that are essential in preserving ecological systems and functions are genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecological diversity. Genetic diversity is a measure of the variety of versions of the same genes within individual species. Species diversity describes the number of different kinds of organisms within a community or ecosystem. Ecological diversity means the richness of complexity of a biological community.
Why are there more plants in the tropics than in the desert?
The tropics have consistent warmth, abundant sunlight, and consistent rainfall, providing ideal conditions for plant growth. In contrast, deserts have limited water and nutrients, harsh temperatures, and low rainfall, making it difficult for plants to survive and thrive. Therefore, the tropical climate is more favorable for plant diversity compared to the desert.
Why are there a greater number of species in the tropics than in temperature zones?
there is more energy available to support more organisms in the tropics
Does NZ have more native trees then Australia?
In terms of forest diversity, Australia has a greater latitudinal range, and will probably have a greater species variety. In addition, the forest in the Cape York Peninsula in the sub-tropics,will have a great diversity, as is typical for tropical forest. These are not species numbers, but the general direction should be sound. Sorry I can't do better.

Why is crossing over advantageous to species?
Crossing over provides genetic diversity, which means many different characteristics are given to individuals of a species. Therefore, if there is more diversity within that species, there is a higher likelihood of that species surviving, growing, and reproducing.
How is the species diversity related to the stability of an ecosystem?
When you have more than one species in a given niche, then if one species declines for whatever reason, there are other species which can replace it, and the ecosystem as a whole remains functional.

Biodiversity generally decreases with increasing latitude, as the number of species tends to decline towards the poles. In contrast, biodiversity increases with larger areas as larger habitats can support more diverse ecosystems and species. This is due to the availability of more niches and resources in larger areas.

Why is the abundance and diversity of Adirondack bird species so low relative to Catskills bird diversity and abundance other than waterfowl and regardless of season?
There is greater habitat diversity in the Catskills, as well as more overlap with species from farther south in the temperate zone.
Why would a forest support more species of birds than a grassland?
Vertical habitat and diversity.

How does the system of classification relate to the diversity of species?
The biological system of classification relates to the diversity of species because the system of classification is how we organize the diversity of species. With out it we would have a hard time trying to determine which animals belong with which group. There would be no order, just chaos of trying to determine animal likeness of one another.
What are some of the species of stick insects?
There are too many stick insect species to identify. In fact, there are over 3,000 to be more accurate. Most of the species are around the tropics though (Wikipedia). * Lord Howe Island Stick Insect
