Genetic diversity within vertebrate species is greater at lower latitudes

RI Adams, EA Hadly - Evolutionary Ecology, 2013‏ - Springer
The latitudinal gradient of species diversity is one of the oldest recognized patterns in

Incorporating latitudinal and central–marginal trends in assessing genetic variation across species ranges

Q Guo - Molecular Ecology, 2012‏ - Wiley Online Library
The genetic variation across a species' range is an important factor in speciation and
conservation, yet searching for general patterns and underlying causes remains …

An elevational phylogeographic diversity gradient in Neotropical birds is decoupled from speciation rates

KS Wacker, BM Winger - The American Naturalist, 2024‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
A key question about macroevolutionary speciation rates is whether they are controlled by
microevolutionary processes operating at the population level. For example, does spatial …
