Analyze if the following pairs of statements are correct. Choose: A, if both statements are correct; B, if only the first statement is correct; C, if only the second statement is correct; or D, if both statements are incorrect. 1a. Diversity describes the number of species and abundance of each species 1b. The higher the value of Simpsons’ index (D), the higher the species diversity.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider this claim: Changes in environmental conditions always result in new ecosystems and loss of biodiversity characterized by an increase in the number of some species, the evolution of new species, and the extinction of some species.

Evaluate each of the following statements regarding biodiversity and select the one that is true. The lower the biodiversity in an ecosystem, the more likely it is that the ecosystem can withstand changes. A decrease in biodiversity will eventually affect all species in an ecosystem, resulting in a less productive environment. The higher the biodiversity in an ecosystem, the more likely it is that the ecosystem can withstand changes. A decrease in biodiversity will eventually affect all species in an ecosystem, resulting in a more productive environment.
