Latitudinal gradient in species richness
What is the gradient? Amongst the earliest remarked, and best documented, of broad-scale spatial patterns of life on Earth is a trend for more species to be found towards lower latitudes. The latitudinal gradient in species richness is such that most extant eukaryote, perhaps also prokaryote, species are found in the tropics. Even when counted over quite small areas in which it is present, the ...
متن کاملLatitudinal gradients in species diversity
The increase in species richness or biodiversity that occurs from the poles to the tropics, often referred to as the latitudinal gradient in species diversity, is one of the most widely recognized patterns in ecology. Put another way, localities at lower latitudes generally have more species than localities at higher latitudes. Explaining the latitudinal diversity gradient is one of the great c...

متن کاملFinal thermal conditions override the effects of temperature history and dispersal in experimental communities
Predicting the effect of climate change on biodiversity is a multifactorial problem that is complicated by potentially interactive effects with habitat properties and altered species interactions. In a microcosm experiment with communities of microalgae, we analysed whether the effect of rising temperature on diversity depended on the initial or the final temperature of the habitat, on the rate...
متن کاملIncorporating latitudinal and central-marginal trends in assessing genetic variation across species ranges.
The genetic variation across a species' range is an important factor in speciation and conservation, yet searching for general patterns and underlying causes remains challenging. While the majority of comparisons between central and marginal populations have revealed a general central-marginal (C-M) decline in genetic diversity, others show no clear pattern. Similarly, most latitudinal studies ...
