Aim It is well known that the distribution of species diversity is spatially heterogeneous, but understanding the factors contributing to this heterogeneity and to the formation of biodiversity hotspots remains a challenge. Here, we seek to improve our understanding of how historical, ecological and ...

In the same way, the Caribbean Islands are known to be biodiversity hotspots due to the presence of different kinds of organisms such as sponges, fishes, mollusks, cetaceans, and seabirds.Answer and Explanation: The following are factors that contribute to declining biodiversity: Climate change...

Numerous patterns of biodiversity distributions have been documented, but the obvious increase in species richness from the poles toward the equator known as the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is remarkable for its consistency across geographic scales and taxonomic groups1,2,3. Although many ...

Species richness hotspots were also associated to biogenic structures and were found restricted to the summit of the central guyot and other areas located on the surrounding ridges. Different functional composition of these benthic habitats also suggested differences in ecosystem functioning: biogenic ...
