Polar species tend to have longer geographical ranges than tropical species in many taxonomic groups. This is generally known as:

• A. Hanski’s rule
• B. Rapoport’s rule
• C. Theory of island biogeography
• D. Allee effect

Hint:

Remember, Rapoport’s rule highlights the inverse relationship between latitude and species’ range size.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

1. Rapoport’s rule posits that species in polar regions often exhibit larger geographical ranges than their tropical counterparts.
2. This is due to their capacity to adapt to a wider spectrum of environmental variations.
