Answer:

Biodiversity hotspots are regions under surveillance of humans where threatened and endemic species of flora and fauna are grown. These regions have been identified as some of the world's most important ecosystems.

The two criteria for designation as a biodiversity hotspot are:

1. It must possess at least 1500 vascular plant species as endemics : It means the region must have a high percentage of plant species which are found no where else in the world.

2. It must have 30% or less native vegetation : It means that the plant species population is endangered and threatened to extinction.

External ear structure that helps to localize the direction from which sound arises

Step2247 [10]

The external ear structure is called the Pinna.

The Pinna helps to channel sound waves into the ear.

Many animals have the ability to move their pinna towards the direction of sound.

I have attached an image of a dog's ear to show you the external structure called the Pinna.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)
