Explain why fewer species of plant would lead to fewer species of lizard in oil palm plantations. Lizards feed on plants and insects.

Planting just one crop such as palm oil in an area decreases biodiversity, resulting in fewer niches for insects. This means that there are fewer insect species in the area, and therefore fewer food sources for lizards.
