Problem: Within the Royal National Park, Research team A measured the diversity in the Northern region of park and wanted to compare this to Research team B's calculation of diversity from the Southern region. Team A recorded a Simpson index of 0.9 and team B published a Berger-Parker diversity index of 0.7. The conclusion is...
A. The richness of northern region is significantly greater than that of the southern region.
B. Conclusions are unable to be made by comparing these two index.
C. The northern region must have greater carrying capacity to account for greater diversity.
D. The northern region is likely to have ecologically niches more suited for greater number of mammals.
E. The northern region has statistically significantly higher diversity than southern region.
