What does species richness refer to? a. the number of species in an area b. the quality of species in an area c. the functional importance of a species d. the abundance of individuals within a species
Community A has 98 individuals of species 1 and 2 individuals of species 2. Community B has 50 individuals of species 1 and 50 individuals of species 2. How would you best describe these communities? Community B has a greater species richness and lower diversity. Community A has a greater species richness and diversity. These communities have equal species richness and diversity. They have equal species richness but community B is more diverse.
