Question
Observe the graph and select the correct option:
Options
Line A represents, S = CA2
Line B represents, log C = log A + Z log S
Line A represents, S = CAZ
Line B represents, log S = log Z + C log A

Solution
Line A represents, S = CAZ
Explanation:
The equation S = CAZ often gives the species-area relationship, where S is the number of species, A is the area, and C and Z are constants. The relationship is typically nonlinear.

Rivet Popper Hypothesis is an analogy to explain the significance of ______.
When pre-reproductive and post - reproductive age group is same in structure, the population is______.
Tropical regions show greatest level of species richness because -
- Tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years, hence more time was available for species diversification.
- Tropical environments are more seasonal.
- More solar energy is available in tropics.
- Constant environments promote niche specialization.
- Tropical environments are constant and predictable.
