Question

Refer to the figure below. Two communities are represented by each rank abundance curve of species abundances within each community. Which of the following is true? RankAbundance.png O A. The relative abundance for common species is more similar than for rarer species between the two communities. OB. The community with more species has relatively higher evenness (hint: look at distribution of OC. The community with less species has relatively higher evenness (hint: look at distribution of O D. Both A and B. relative abundances) among species relative abundances) among species

Explanation / Answer

D. Both A and B.

From the graph we observe that the relative abundance for common species ismore similar than for rarer species between the two communities. And, the community with more species has more evenness among th especies than the community with lower species.
