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

  1. Endemism
  2. Lesser inter-specific competition
  3. Accelerated species loss
  4. Species richness

Answer

(2) Lesser inter-specific competition

Solution

⇒ As per NCERT, biodiversity hotspots are regions with very high levels of species richness and high degree of endemism, which are also under great threat (accelerated habitat and species loss).

⇒ Since a large number of species live together in a hotspot, the inter-specific competition is high, not low.

∴ Lesser inter-specific competition is not observed in biodiversity hotspots.

Answer: (2)
