Essay

Refer to the table.
Table 1
You are investigating patterns of species richness on two different continents (Continent 1 and Continent 2) to determine how species richness patterns differ between them. For multiple study sites on each of the two continents, you sample the local species richness and compare it to the species richness of the broader region to which each site belongs. The data on species richness are shown in the table. Using the data in Table 1, plot a graph of the relationship between local and regional species richness on the two continents (this will be referred to as Figure 1). Sketch a straight line that indicates the general pattern of the relationship. Add a line with a slope of 1 to the graph to indicate how the relationship between regional and local species diversity would look if regional and local species diversity were the same.
