Why does Australia have a high degree of Endemism?
The remote island continent of Australia has kept its distinct species from spreading naturally worldwide.
What is known as the rainforest of the sea?
Coral reefs are the rainforest of the sea, because of their high levels of endemism and their spectacular scenery. Hope this helps :)
What is neoendemism?
Endemism means that a plant or animal is only found in one particular place. For example, many species of lemur are endemic to Madagascar.Paleo-endemism and Neo-endemism are two sub-groups.Paleo- means a species that had a large population but now has a small one.Neo- means a new species, or one that has formed following hybridization. Neo-endemism is more common in plants.
Why you dream of the galapagos islands?
Because for a Nature lover or a naturalist Galapagos Islands are some sort of 'chamber of evolution and endemism' as someone once said. Despite of the pressure of tourism is still a unique place in the world.
The varied climate and topography of Latin America have directly led to?
a diverse range of ecosystems and biodiversity in the region. This has contributed to the high levels of species richness and endemism found in Latin America, making it one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world.
What percentage of the plant species found on Madagascar are unique to that island?
Approximately 90% of the plant species found on Madagascar are unique to the island, making it one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. The isolated nature of Madagascar from the African mainland has resulted in a high level of endemism among its flora and fauna.
Most biodiversity hot spots are found in what regions?
Biodiversity hotspots are typically found in tropical regions, especially in areas like the Amazon Rainforest, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa. These regions have high levels of species richness and endemism, making them important areas for conservation efforts.
What are the two processes that determine the world's current biodiversity?
The two main processes that determine the world's current biodiversity are speciation, where new species arise through evolution, and extinction, where species die out due to various factors such as changes in the environment or competition with other species. These two processes continuously shape the diversity of life on Earth.
Most of southwest Australia is covered by a landform called what?
Most of southwest Australia is covered by a landform known as the Jarrah Forest. This region is characterized by its unique Mediterranean climate, which supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, including the iconic Jarrah tree. The forest is part of the larger Southwest Australia Ecoregion, recognized for its rich biodiversity and high levels of endemism.
