Biodiversity Hotspots Questions
Genetic diversity contributes to the resilience of biodiversity hotspots by increasing the chances of species survival and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. It allows for a wider range of genetic traits within a population, which can provide the necessary variation for species to withstand threats such as diseases, climate change, and habitat loss. Additionally, genetic diversity enhances the ability of species to recover from disturbances and increases their overall resilience to environmental changes.
