Consider the two statements:
| I: | Species diversity seen in tropical areas is much lower than that seen in temperate areas. |
| II: | Temperate areas, unlike tropical areas are less seasonal, more constant and promote niche specialization. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct but II is incorrect.

The name of Alexander von Humboldt is associated with the concept of:
| 1. | Increased species diversity in stable communities |
| 2. | Parallelism between evolution and ecological succession |
| 3. | Resource-partitioning to avoid competition |
| 4. | Species-Area relationship |

| I. | Within a region, species richness decreases with increasing explored area. |
| II. | The rectangular hyperbola represents the relation between species richness and area for angiosperm plants, birds, bats and freshwater fishes, for example. |
| III. | Z represents the regression coefficient or the slope of the line. |
| IV. | The value of Z lies in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 regardless of the taxonomic group or the region. |
| V. | For frugivorous birds and mammals in the tropical forests of different continents, the slope is found to be 1.15. |
| VI. | If the species area relationship is analysed for very large areas, the slope of the line is much steeper and Z value lies in the range of 0.6 to 1.2. |
