What is the latitudinal diversity gradient? What are the hypotheses explaining the latitudinal diversity gradient?

Biodiversity includes the genes that every individual inherits from its parents and passes on to the next generation. Genetic diversity is found everywhere, ... Here we show that increasing the species diversity of a functional group of aquatic organisms induces facilitative interactions, leading to non-additive changes ... Relationships between diversity among species and genetic diversity within species are only poorly understood. Levels and patterns of genetic diversity ... Longleaf pine forests cover a variety of different habitat types (mountains, rolling hills, sandhills, and flatwoods). Our goal was to determine which landscape features are important controls on species richness, to establish how these constraints are expressed at different ... In experimental communities of sessile marine invertebrates, increased species richness significantly decreased invasion success, apparently because species- ... Mar 1, 1975 ... Abstract. In old—field ecosystems in the deciduous forest, plant species diversity generally increases with succession and reaches a maximum ... Jul 1, 2019 ...
