Who introduced the concept of Biodiversity 'Hotspots'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Norman Myers

Direct answer: B, Norman Myers. He introduced the biodiversity-hotspot concept to identify regions that contain unusually high numbers of endemic species and face serious habitat loss or other threats. The idea is useful because conservation resources can be directed toward places where many unique species are concentrated and urgently need protection. A is incorrect: E. O. Wilson made major contributions to biodiversity and conservation biology, but he is not credited with introducing this hotspot concept. C developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, and D developed influential systems of naming and classification; neither introduced the hotspot idea. Memory cue: Myers mapped priority areas—hotspots.
