A recent study suggests that the organization of life on Earth is governed by a simple rule where species cluster in core hotspots, from which they expand outward, influenced by environmental filtering. This pattern is consistent across various bioregions and species, indicating a predictable distribution that can inform conservation efforts and our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

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.
