Question

cows grazing in an open field
match each example from arcelias ranch to the correct level of diversity.
level of biodiversity | example
--- | ---
ecosystem diversity | plants around the pasture: mesquite, quebracho, and toothpick cactus
species diversity | wildlife habitats: estuaries, grasslands, and wetlands
genetic diversity | different cattle breeds: criollo, hereford, and zebu

Explanation:

• Ecosystem diversity: Refers to the variety of ecosystems (habitats) in an area. The example "wildlife habitats: estuaries, grasslands, and wetlands" lists different habitats, so it matches ecosystem diversity.
• Species diversity: Refers to the variety of species in a community. The example "plants around the pasture: mesquite, quebracho, and toothpick cactus" lists different plant species, so it matches species diversity.
• Genetic diversity: Refers to the variety of genes within a species. The example "different cattle breeds: Criollo, Hereford, and Zebu" shows different genetic variations within cattle, so it matches genetic diversity.

Answer:

• ecosystem diversity: wildlife habitats: estuaries, grasslands, and wetlands
• species diversity: plants around the pasture: mesquite, quebracho, and toothpick cactus
• genetic diversity: different cattle breeds: Criollo, Hereford, and Zebu
