The term “biodiversity” is a concise form of “biological diversity” and was coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1986.
Biodiversity is the occurrence of diverse or varied forms of living beings which differ from one another in external appearance, size, color pattern, internal structure, nutrition, behavior, habitat etc.
Note: Mega diversity is the high degree of richness of different types of forms found in an area. The area or region of mega diversity on earth is humid tropical region lying between tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn.
The system of grouping of living forms on the basis of similarities and differences is called classification.
The branch of biology concerned with classification is called taxonomy. Taxonomy is a biological science which deals with identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms following certain rules.
