What is the impact of frequent glaciations in temperate regions on species diversity?
What is the impact of frequent glaciations in temperate regions on species diversity?
Promotes species diversity
Decreases species diversity
Has no impact
Increases species diversity
Solution
Ecologists and evolutionary biologists have proposed that unlike temperate regions subjected to frequent glaciations in the past, tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years and thus, had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. Frequent glaciations in temperate regions have decreased species diversity.
