Can you explain how evolution and biodiversity are related?

Natural selection cannot create biodiversity; it can only eliminate biological variations that are not as well adapted to the changing environmental conditions.

A change in population will result from biodiversity if there is enough of it. When an environmental change happens, some variations may be adapted to the changing environment and survive while natural selection selects the poorly adapted variations for extinction.

De Vrie's mutations were thought to be the source of the new unique variations; however, modern biochemistry and knowledge of DNA have shown that mutations are always the result of a loss of information. These variations must exist before natural selection can occur. Darwinian evolution had no answer for the source of the new unique variations.

Darwinian evolution offers no explanation for the origin of biodiversity; instead, it suggests that natural selection may work with biodiversity to select well adapted variations to environmental changes, leading to evolution or changes in species.

Evolution is the process of gradual genetic changes in populations over successive generations. Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or on Earth as a whole. Evolution is a key driver of biodiversity, as it leads to the development of new species over time, contributing to the diversity of life forms on the planet. The interconnectedness between evolution and biodiversity lies in the continual adaptation and differentiation of species, resulting in the rich array of organisms observed in various ecosystems.
