Ecological Concept Example A. Latitudinal gradient 1. Higher biodiversity in tropical regions compared to polar regions B. Ecosystem services 2. Species richness increases with the explored area, up to a limit C. Rivet popper hypothesis 3. Ecosystem stability decreases with the loss of species D. Species-Area relationship 4. Pollination, oxygen production, and water purification

Options

  1. AA - 1, B - 4, C - 3, D - 2
  2. BA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
  3. CA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
  4. DA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2

Correct answer

A. A - 1, B - 4, C - 3, D - 2

Step-by-step solution

A - 1: Latitudinal gradient refers to the pattern where biodiversity decreases as we move away from the equator toward the poles. B - 4: Ecosystem services include processes like pollination, oxygen production, and water purification that are vital for ecological balance and human survival. C - 3: The Rivet popper hypothesis suggests that losing species from an ecosystem is akin to removing rivets from an airplane; it can lead to a decline in ecosystem stability. D - 2: Species-Area relationship suggests that speci
