Population A (Maximum Diversity): This population contains three distinct taxonomic groups: Mammals, Birds, and Amphibians. The presence of three different classes represents the highest level of richness among the options.
Population B: This population contains only two distinct taxonomic groups: Mammals and Amphibians.
Population C (Minimum Diversity): In this population, all individuals belong to a single taxonomic group: Mammals. Having only one class present represents the lowest species diversity.
