As one moves away from the equator towards the poles, species diversity generally decreases. Based on this latitudinal gradient, which of the following regions harbours the lowest number of bird species?

Step-by-step solution

Species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Colombia is located near the equator and has about 1400 species of birds. India is mostly in the tropical region and has more than 1200 species of birds. New York is in the temperate region ( 41^ N) and has 105 species of birds. Greenland is in the polar region ( 71^ N) and has only 56 species of birds. Therefore, Greenland harbours the lowest number of bird species among the given regions. Answer: Greenland
