The document discusses the difference between diversity and disparity in biology. It explains that diversity refers to species number, while disparity refers to variation across phenotypes. A biota can have many species but low phenotypic variation if the species are quite similar. It argues that counting species alone does not fully capture phenotypic diversity or disparity. While morphology is used as a proxy for phenotype, there is no single objective metric that can fully measure phenotypic spread acros
