Question

Please explain study of variation patterns in different taxon.

Answer 1

Answer:

By using genetical and ecological approaches

Explanation:

Genetic variation is useful to study the diversity of the species and to understand both intraspecific and interspecific variation patterns. In genetics assays, two or more genetic sequences belonging to different organisms are compared in order to determine nucleotide differences (i.e., homology level) between the complete sequences, which enable to determine the evolutionary relationships between taxa.

Ecological diversity is associated with the variation of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Ecological variation across species can be represented by different measures such as niche variation among individuals, the number of trophic levels, etc. Ecological variation patterns may affect the ecological dynamics of species and their communities, thereby being of vital importance for diversity classification studies.
