Plant richness, turnover, and evolutionary diversity track gradients of stability and ecological opportunity in a megadiversity center
Research on global patterns of diversity has been dominated by studies seeking explanations for the equator-to-poles decline in richness of most groups of organisms, namely the latitudinal diversity gradient. A problem with this gradient is that it conflates two key explanations, namely biome stability (age and area) and productivity (ecological...Colville, Jonathan F. ; Beale, Colin M. ; Forest, Félix ; Altwegg, Res ; Huntley, Brian …
