These dense, tropical forests near the equator are home to more than half of all species on Earth despite covering only 6% of land.
Difficulty: Easy- Deserts
- Rainforests
- Grasslands
- Tundra
This theory explains why islands have fewer species than mainlands and why larger, closer islands have more species than smaller, distant ones.
Difficulty: Medium- Unified neutral theory
- Continental drift theory
- Island biogeography theory
- Metacommunity theory
This theoretical framework proposes that most genetic variation is selectively neutral and diversity patterns result from random drift and mutation-drift balance.
Difficulty: Hard- Selectionist theory
- Neutral theory of molecular evolution
- Nearly neutral theory

Difficulty: Easy- Polar bear
- Spectacled bear

This process of genetic change in small, isolated populations due to random chance rather than natural selection can reduce genetic diversity.
Difficulty: Medium- Natural selection
- Genetic drift
- Gene flow
- Stabilizing selection
This controversial genetic technology can spread engineered genes through wild populations, potentially eliminating invasive species or disease vectors like malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Difficulty: Hard- Gene drive
- CRISPR editing
- Transgenic modification
- Somatic gene therapy

Difficulty: Easy- Extinction
