Question

Species diversity is expected to:

Answer 1

Species diversity is the number of different species that are represented in a given community (a dataset). The effective number of species refers to the number of equally abundant species needed to obtain the same mean proportional species abundance as that observed in the dataset of interest (where all species may not be equally abundant). Species diversity consists of three components: species richness, taxonomic or phylogenetic diversity and species evenness. Species richness is a simple count of species, taxonomic or phylogenetic diversity is the genetic relationship between different groups of species,whereas species evenness quantifies how equal the abundances of the species are.[1][2][3]

Answer 2

Species diversity is a measurement of biological diversity to be found in a specific ecological community.

• Species is defined as a group of organisms with similar genetic code and can reproduce to produce fertile offspring.
• Species diversity reperesnt the richness of each specific species in an area under consideration.
• They are based on characterstics like method of diet, anatomy , habitat etc.
• Species is the base of the systemtic classification also known as taxonomy.
• Species diversity is greatest when all the species present are equally abundant in the area.
• There are two constituents of species diversity.
• They are

1. Species richness
2. Number of different species present in an ecosystem.

• The number of species that live in a particular area is called species richness.
• Species abundance is defined as the number of individuals of each species.
• All species are given a two-part name, a "binomial".
• The first part of a binomial name is the genus to which the species belongs.
• The second part of the name is the  specific name or the specific epithet.
• The hierarchy of biological classification's eight major taxonomic ranks are

1. Species
2. Genus
3. Family
4. Order
5. Class
6. Phylum
7. Kingdom
8. Domain
9. Life

• The Genus consist of structurally or phylogenetically related species or a single isolated species exhibiting unusual differentiation.
• Family is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus.
