Detailed explanation-1: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, the four main levels of biodiversity are species, genetic, ecosystem, and global biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity is usually explored at three levels-genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity. These three levels work together to create the complexity of life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is an example of species diversity. It is the home to the largest coral reef in the world. It contains approximately 400 different types of coral species, 150 fish species, 4000 species of mollusks, and 10 species of turtles.
