Q7 Flashcards
Define species
A group of organisms that can reproduce to produce fertile offspring.
Index of diversity
Add the individual species populations to get N .
Determine N × (N - 1) .
Work out n × (n - 1) for each species, where n is the number of individuals in each species.
Sum all the values in step 3.
Divide the sum obtained in step 4 by the value obtained in step 2.
How does Agriculture affect diversity
It reduces it as it will destroy habitats meaning that animals won’t have a home. Reduces availability of food for the animals therefore species will move as they will no longer have what they need to survive.
