Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the
world's species. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity …

The majority of humanity now lives in cities or towns, with this proportion expected to
continue increasing for the foreseeable future. As novel ecosystems, urban areas offer an …

Biogeographical Conservativism Hypothesis were tested in forest red millipedes. Latitudinal
diversity gradient (LDG) was measured in the Spirobolida family Pachybolidae to distinguish …

Species richness is the number of different species represented in an ecological community,
landscape, or region [2-5]. Species richness and biodiversity increase from the poles to the …

Abstract The Tropical Conservativism Hypothesis and Biogeographical Conservativism
Hypothesis were tested in forest millipedes. Latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) was …

Abstract The Tropical Conservativism Hypothesis and Biogeographical Conservativism
Hypothesis were tested in forest millipedes. Latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) was …

Despite the paramount role of plant diversity for ecosystem functioning, biogeochemical
cycles, and human welfare, knowledge of its global distribution is still incomplete, hampering …

Far more species of organisms are found in the tropics than in temperate and polar regions,
but the evolutionary and ecological causes of this pattern remain controversial 1, 2. Tropical …

An organism's ability to disperse influences many fundamental processes, from speciation
and geographical range expansion to community assembly. However, the patterns and …

Air pressure was tested for a relationship with species richness in pill millipedes
Sphaerotherium and the outgroup species Kylindotherium leve. There were no differences …
