What to Focus On

  • Biodiversity includes genetic, species, and ecological diversity.
  • Genetic diversity occurs within a species.
  • Species diversity refers to variety of species in a region.
  • Described plant and animal species are slightly more than 1.5 million.
  • Global species estimates range from 20 to 50 million in extreme cases.
  • Robert May estimated about 7 million species globally.
  • Species diversity is highest in the tropics.
  • Tropics lie between 23.5° N and 23.5° S.
  • Species richness decreases from equator to poles.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Biodiversity means only the number of species in a region.

Genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecological diversity are interchangeable terms.

Biodiversity is highest near the poles because cold regions are less disturbed by humans.
