The dynamics of bird diversity in the New World
A Machac - Systematic Biology, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Three prominent explanations have been proposed to explain the dramatic differences in

Ecological controls of mammalian diversification vary with phylogenetic scale
Aim Diversity dynamics remain controversial. Here, we examine these dynamics, together
with the ecological factors governing them, across mammalian clades of different ages and …

Spatial variation in direct and indirect effects of climate and productivity on species richness of terrestrial tetrapods
Aim We aimed to dissect the spatial variation of the direct and indirect effects of climate and
productivity on global species richness of terrestrial tetrapods. Location Global. Time period …

Ecological constraints coupled with deep-time habitat dynamics predict the latitudinal diversity gradient in reef fishes
We develop a spatially explicit model of diversification based on palaeohabitat to explore
the predictions of four major hypotheses potentially explaining the latitudinal diversity …

Ecological causes of uneven diversification and richness in the mammal tree of life
The uneven distribution of species in the tree of life is rooted in unequal speciation and
extinction among groups. Yet the causes of differential diversification are little known despite …

Introductory Chapter: Factors That Affect Biodiversity and Species Richness of Ecosystems-A Review
L Hufnagel, F Mics - Biodiversity of Ecosystems, 2022 - books.google.com
The general latitudinal trend is that species diversity declines as latitude increases [1]. This
appears to be the case for almost all terrestrial plants and animals [2, 3]. It is also usually …

A process‐based model supports an association between dispersal and the prevalence of species traits in tropical reef fish assemblages
Habitat dynamics interacting with species dispersal abilities could generate gradients in
species diversity and prevalence of species traits when the latter are associated with …

The latitudinal diversity gradient in South American mammals revisited using a regional analysis approach: The importance of climate at extra-tropical latitudes and …
The latitudinal diversity gradient has been considered a consequence of a shift in the impact
