Question

Presence of higher diversity at the junction of territories of two different habitats is called as

• B. Edge effect

Answer 1

The correct option is B Edge effect

Edge effects refer to the changes in population or community structures that occur at the boundary of two habitats. Areas with small habitat fragments exhibit especially pronounced edge effects that may extend throughout the range. The influence of the two bordering communities on each other is known as the edge effect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
