A Single Rule Unifies Life's Diversity from Oceans to Savannas
Scientists have identified a universal rule that explains the distribution of species across Earth's bioregions, revealing that each region has a core area with the highest biodiversity, which acts as a source for species expansion and diversification. This core-based pattern, consistent across various species and habitats, is driven by environmental filters and barriers that shape evolution and biodiversity, offering valuable insights for conservation efforts amid global environmental changes.
