Chapter 44.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The species richness of trees does not increase in mountainous areas of the west, as it is for birds.
Introduction:
The number of dissimilar types of species within an area or community is called species richness. Species richness takes into account not only the abundance of the species but also the abundance of their relative distribution. It also takes into the account of species evenness and species richness. Species richness is an important pattern.

The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females.
