Options

  1. APromotes species diversity
  2. BDecreases species diversity
  3. CHas no impact
  4. DIncreases species diversity

Correct answer

B. Decreases species diversity

Step-by-step solution

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists have proposed that unlike temperate regions subjected to frequent glaciations in the past, tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years and thus, had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. Frequent glaciations in temperate regions have decreased species diversity.
