|---|---|
| A. Robert May | I. Species-Area relationship |
| B. Alexander von Humboldt | II. Long term ecosystem experiment using out door plots |
| C. Paul Ehrlich | III. Global species diversity at about 7 million |
| D. David Tilman | IV. Rivet popper hypothesis |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
A.A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
B.A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
C.A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
D.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Contributions to ecology]
Robert May–an estimate of about seven million global species (A–III); Alexander von Humboldt–species–area relationship (B–I); Paul Ehrlich–rivet popper analogy (C–IV); David Tilman–long term experiments using outdoor plots (D–II). Hence, option (4). The species estimate is the historical textbook estimate.
