5. assume two habitats have the same number of species. one habitat is predominantly one
species with just a few of the other species. the other habitat has equal numbers of all the
different species. which will have the highest diversity index?
6. why do you think the process was repeated three times?
7. there are many human-caused losses of biodiversity, such as habitat destruction and
introduction of invasive species. are there any natural events that could alter the diversity
index?
8. how do invasive species change the diversity index?
9. what do you think would happen to a habitat if the plant diversity declines?
