Question

Suppose you wanted to determine whether you had adequately sampled the species richness of a given community. Which result would lead most strongly to the conclusion that the current sampling had adequately assessed the species diversitya. A high Shannon index value?
b. A low Shannon index value
c. A rising, linear species accumulation curved. A species accumulation curve that had leveled off
e. A high alpha diversity

Answer 1

The correct answer is (D)

Explanation:

• The species accumulation curve is also known as Species discovery curve.

• It is a graph which records the cumulative number of species of living things recorded in a particular environment.

• The species accumulation curve is related to species area curve.

• The Species accumulation curve is used to represent the adequacy of a fauna survey.
