Question

Which one of the following is not observed in biodiversity hotspots?

• A. Lesser inter-specific competition
• B. Species richness
• C. Endemism
• D. Accelerated species loss

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lesser inter-specific competition

A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region that has a significant reservoir of biodiversity as endemics and is threatened with species loss due to human activity. Lesser interspecific competition is not observed in such areas because high species diversity will lead to different species competing for the same resources in an ecosystem.
