Question

The Venn Diagram below shows numbers of species in three forest types. Which of the following statements is true? 

The correct answer is
Overlap of species between dry deciduous and moist deciduous > overlap between moist deciduous and wet evergreen

To determine which statement is true, we need to analyze the Venn diagram provided:

The Venn diagram shows the distribution of species among three forest types: Dry deciduous, Moist deciduous, and Wet evergreen.

  1. Overlap of species between dry deciduous and moist deciduous:
    • Species only in Dry and Moist deciduous (excluding the common section with Wet evergreen) = 15 species.
  2. Overlap of species between moist deciduous and wet evergreen:
    • Species only in Moist and Wet evergreen (excluding the common section with Dry deciduous) = 20 species.

By comparing the overlaps:

  • \(15 \text{ (dry + moist deciduous)} > 20 \text{ (moist + wet evergreen)}\)

Thus, the statement "Overlap of species between dry deciduous and moist deciduous > overlap between moist deciduous and wet evergreen" is correct.

Let's analyze the other options for verification:

  1. Overlap of species between wet evergreen and dry deciduous > overlap between wet evergreen and moist deciduous:
    • Species only in Wet and Dry deciduous (excluding the common section with Moist deciduous) = 0 (no specific overlap shown).
    • \(0 \not> 20\)
  2. Total species in dry deciduous > moist deciduous:
    • Total species in Dry deciduous = 95 + (15) + (5) = 115 species.
    • Total species in Moist deciduous = 90 + (30) + (5) = 125 species.
    • \(115 \not> 125\)
  3. Total species in moist deciduous > wet evergreen:
    • Total species in Wet evergreen = 120 + (20) + (5) = 145 species.
    • \(125 \not> 145\)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Overlap of species between dry deciduous and moist deciduous > overlap between moist deciduous and wet evergreen
