For frugivorous birds and mammals in the tropical forests of different continents,the slope is found to have the value of

The correct equation depicting the species-area relationship is:

Given below are two statements.
Statement-$I$: Availability of intense sunlight,warmer temperature and higher annual rainfall in the tropics are responsible for species richness of fruit-yielding trees.
Statement-$II$: The variety of frugivorous organisms is more in the tropics as compared to the temperate regions.
In light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Approximately $25\%$ of all insects are known to be phytophagous (feeding on plant sap and other parts of plants).

Species diversity is bountiful in the tropics near the equator because of the following factors $EXCEPT$ . . . . . .

Give scientific reasons: There is greater biodiversity in the tropical regions of the world.
