Botany - Biodiversity and its Conservation Question with Solution | TestHub

In an ecosystem, the inter-specific competition occurs when the individuals belonging to different species compete for the same resources such as food, shelter, etc. In biodiversity hotspots, where the organism distribution is more in a confined area, there will be more inter-specific competition. They have high levels of species richness and a high degree of endemism. Initially 25 biodiversity hotspots were identified, but subsequently, nine more such hotspots were added in the world, taking the number to 34. These hotspots are also the regions of accelerated habitat loss.
