A rain forest habitat is located in an equatorial area with a warm, wet climate. Nearby is a savanna, where the climate is equally warm but much drier. Species diversity is much higher in the rain forest. Which rain forest habitat characteristic most likely explains this difference? O More disturbances, leading to rapid species turnover O More complex habitat structure, enabling greater food availability O More complex habitat structure, enabling greater niche specialization O Fewer disturbances, leading to rapid population growth of a few species O Fewer open spaces, leading to inability of organisms to leave the habitat

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
