Question

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

• A. Lesser interspecific competition
• B. Species richness
• C. Endemism
• D. Accelerated species loss

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lesser interspecific competition

A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographical region with a significant reservoir of biordiversity that is threatened of destruction. The concept is given by Dr. Normal Myers. Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location common in biodiversity hotspots, there will also be species richness and accelerated species loss because of destruction common in biodiversity hotspots. There will be high inter specific competition observed in these regions.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
