Show answer

Latitudinal gradient

The latitudinal gradient in diversity shows that species diversity generally decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Tropics harbor more species than temperate or polar regions.

4multiple correct

Which of the following hypotheses explain greater biological diversity in tropics?

Show answer

Longer evolutionary time, More constant environment, Higher solar energy

Tropics have greater diversity due to: longer evolutionary time (undisturbed for millions of years), more constant and predictable environment, and higher solar energy contributing to greater productivity.
