1.Which of the following claims concerning the diversity of species is accurate?
a.The diversity of species is typically greater on continents than islands.
b.In the tropics, species richness tends to peak at lower elevations.
c.There are more over 2 million species on Earth, while the exact number is unknown.
d.Insects likely make up the majority of the Earth's undiscovered species, aside from bacteria.
e.High species richness and high endemism levels are frequently associated.
2.With the aid of native hunters, the black-naped pheasant-pigeon, last observed in 1882, was just recently rediscovered on a small island in Papua New Guinea. It is a sizable, ground-dwelling bird that inhabits rugged, steep terrain.
a.The species would have been considered extinct according to at least one common extinction rule prior to this rediscovery.
b.Working together with regional specialists is an effective way to find (or rediscover) species.
c.A species is frequently rediscovered after such a long time.
d.The bird's great size perhaps explains why it has remained around for such a long time.
e.It is possible that the bird's utilization of a steep habitat explains why it is endangered.
