Question

Community diversity is made of ______.

Options

• Composition or a listing of the various species in a community.

• A community and all of the abiotic factors associated with it.

• The potential number of species that should exist in a community minus the species that have gone locally extinct.

• Both the number of species and the evenness or relative abundance of individuals of the different species.

Answer 1

Community diversity is made of both the number of species and the evenness or relative abundance of individuals of the different species.

Explanation:

Community diversity is composed of both the number of species and the evenness or relative abundance of individuals across the different species in a community. This means it considers not only how many species are present (species richness) but also how evenly individuals are distributed among these species (species evenness).
