All animals around the world can sometimes be a threat to others. But what iif a group of species were close together? Well this is called a morphospecies.
When distinctly different, or diverse, species live together in one area, whether that area is a small suburb, a forest, a pond or an ocean, or the entire planet, it is called biodiversity, or a group of biodiverse species.
This grouping was more commonly called species richness, or species diversity, but our horizons have expanded as we've learned more about the way life exists and co-exists, operates and co-operates, within areas ranging from immense to tiny, and we now see this very necessary diversity as far more wide-ranging than once was envisaged.
For more information on biodiversity, have a look at the link, below.
