What determines species diversity?

Biodiversity usually has three main connotations, namely the diversity of biological species, the diversity of genes (heredity) and the diversity of ecosystems.

The diversity of biological species refers to the richness of biological clocks in a certain area. For example, there are more than 1.7 million species that have been identified by humans. There are 1,244 known species of birds in my country, and there are 3,000 species of angiosperms, namely Biodiversity and its changes at the species level.

Gene diversity refers to the genetic changes within individuals or populations of a species. The genetic composition of different species varies greatly. The traits of organisms are determined by genes. The traits of organisms vary widely, indicating that there are thousands of genes that make up organisms.

There are tens of thousands of genetic differences between organisms of the same species, such as rabbits. Each species has a unique gene pool.

The diversity of genes determines the diversity of biological species; the diversity of biological species constitutes different ecosystems; the diversity of ecosystems refers to the diversity of biological communities and their ecological processes, as well as the environmental differences and ecological processes of ecosystems

The diversity of changes refers to the diversity of ecological environment types in which organisms live.
