The correct answer is: between communities
Community and ecosystem diversity is of three types \(\alpha, \beta\) and \(\gamma\). \(\beta\)-diversity (between community diversity) is a biodiversity which appears in a range of communities due to replacement of species with the change in community habitat due to presence of different microhabitats, niches and difference in environmental conditions.
