The species confined to a particular region and not found elsewhere is termed as -

  1. Alien
  2. Rare
  3. Endemic
  4. Keystone

Answer

(3) Endemic

Solution

Endemic species are confined to a particular region and are not found naturally anywhere else; high endemism is one of the criteria for biodiversity hotspots.

Alien species are introduced from outside the region, rare species have small populations, and a keystone species has a very large role in maintaining its community.
