Choose the correct statement about the patterns of biodiversity.
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
In general, species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. With very few exceptions, tropics (latitudinal range of 23.5° N to 23.5° S) harbour more species than temperate or polar areas. Colombia located near the equator has nearly 1,400 species of birds, whereas New York at 41° N has 105 species and Greenland at 71° N has only 56 species.
