Species Distribution and Biodiversity Hotspots — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptOf the named species, > 70 per cent are animals, of which 70 per cent are insects. The group Fungi has more species than all the vertebrate species combined. India, with about 45,000 species of plants and twice as many species of animals, is one of the 12 mega diversity countries of the world.
