DOI: 10.1007/s10342-021-01401-z
Abstract: The ecological literature has documented the effects of plant hybridization on phenotypic variation, and dominant, intermediate, or novel morphological, chemical and physiological traits in hybrids. It is important to understand the ecological consequences of hybridization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04218-4
Abstract: The latitudinal diversity gradient—the tendency for more species to occur toward the equator—is the dominant pattern of life on Earth, yet the mechanisms responsible for it remain largely unexplained. Recently, the analysis of global data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.12672
Abstract: Aim The aim was to determine processes driving the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) in New World swallowtail butterfly diversity. We tested three mechanisms commonly invoked to explain the LDG: ecological opportunity, evolutionary rates and biogeographical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13253
Abstract: Aim: The evolutionary causes of the latitudinal diversity gradient are debated. Hypotheses have ultimately invoked either faster rates of diversification in the tropics, or more time for diversification due to the tropical origins of higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14620
Abstract: The Late Cenozoic flourishing of polar marine ecosystems, just when temperatures were reaching their lowest levels, has always seemed anomalous. Such an observation is coupled with an increasing volume of molecular phylogenetic evidence to indicate… read more here.

Truncated bimodal latitudinal diversity gradient in early Paleozoic phytoplankton

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abd6709
Abstract: The apparently unimodal latitudinal diversity gradient of Paleozoic phytoplankton is shown to be a truncated bimodal gradient. The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG)—the decline in species richness from the equator to the poles—is classically considered as… read more here.
