A General, Synthetic Model for Predicting Biodiversity Gradients from Environmental Geometry.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2016

Gross Kevin, Snyder-Beattie Andrew

Abstract excerpt

Latitudinal and elevational biodiversity gradients fascinate ecologists, and have inspired dozens of explanations. The geometry of the abiotic environment is sometimes thought to contribute to these gradients, yet evaluations of geometric explanations are limited by a fragmented understanding of the diversity patterns they predict. This article presents a mathematical model that synthesizes multiple pathways by...
