🚨New preprint!🚨 “Global plate model choice impacts reconstructions of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient” out now @biorxivpreprint with @willgearty, Lucas Buffan, and @bethany_j_allen 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #palaeobiology #palaeontology

Global plate model choice impacts reconstructions of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient

The latitudinal gradient of declining species richness from the Equator towards the poles is one of the most pervasive macroecological patterns on Earth today. However, the ubiquity of this trend...
