How is the general behaviour of species diversity around the equator?


Open in App
Solution

The general behavior of species diversity around the equator:

  1. As we move away from the equator and closer to the poles, the diversity of species decreases.
  2. In the equator, species diversity is higher than at the poles.
  3. The latitudinal diversity gradient is a biological term that describes how the number of species grows from the poles to the Equator.
  4. This is one of the most extensive and well-known biodiversity patterns on the planet.
