A new study provides empirical evidence that all life on Earth follows a 'core-to-transition' organization, where most species originate from biodiversity-rich core regions and expand outward, with environmental factors like heat and drought influencing their spread, offering insights into biodiversity patterns and responses to climate change.
Scientists from Umeå University have discovered a universal pattern in how species cluster in core areas within biogeographical zones and expand outward, revealing a fundamental rule that shapes Earth's biodiversity and has significant implications for conservation and climate change strategies.
Scientists have discovered a universal pattern in how species are distributed across Earth's bioregions, with biodiversity radiating from core areas that provide optimal conditions, a pattern driven by environmental filtering, which could inform conservation efforts and climate change responses.
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.
A global study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals a universal core-to-edge biodiversity pattern across Earth's bioregions, driven by environmental filtering, which has significant implications for understanding and conserving biodiversity amid global change.
A new study reveals a universal rule governing Earth's biodiversity: most species cluster in small hotspots and spread outward, with environmental filtering shaping their distribution, which has significant implications for understanding ecosystems and conservation efforts.
