Which species concept would be most useful to a team of biologists conducting a biodiversity survey?

The most useful species concept for a team of biologists conducting a biodiversity survey would be the Biological Species Concept, which defines a species as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. This concept is practical for field biologists as it allows them to identify and categorize species based on their ability to produce viable offspring in their natural environment.


How does plantation agriculture change the value of biodiversity in this ecosystem?

Plantation agriculture require that all species except 1 or 2 are eliminated. Biodiversity is a concept that values the larger number of species compared to the total number of species. Plantation agriculture devalues biodiversity almost to existence.


The number of species living in an ecosystem is referred to as?

I believe it is biodiversity.


Who first coined the term hot spots with reference to biodiversity?

How are species related to the concept of biodiversity?

Species are finite categories in which individual fauna fall into. They are typically characterized by an inability to interbreed with other species and create viable offspring. While a horse and a donkey can create a mule, the mule is in almost all cases sterile and thereby not a viable offspring. Biodiversity is created by having many different species. Speciation (the process in which new species come to exist) is responsible for creating biodiversity.
