2. 
   biodiversity
   A diversity of living things, the scope of which can usually be inferred from the context or specific modifiers in/with which the term is used, i.e., 'biodiversity' referring to organisms in general, or in more restricted reference to a particular taxonomic group, such as 'Corydoras biodiversity,' referring to the diversity of a specific taxon.

4. 
   Biodiversity
   Refers to the variety and variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur. Diversity can be defined as the number of different items and their relative frequencies. For biological diversity, these items are organized at many levels, ranging from complete ecosystems to the biochemical structures that are the molecular basis of heredity. Thus, the term encompasses different ecosystems, species, and genes.

24. 
    Biodiversity
    In an environment created solely by nature, there is a variety of plant and animal life, ranging from the very small to the very large. Nature has created a natural system for disease control. However, when we only incorporate limited variety in our landscapes, the system breaks down. In general, the more diverse we can make our gardens, the healthier they will be.
