What Are Global Patterns - Lisbd-Net. Com
Latitudinal gradient – This is the most well-defined and well-known pattern of biodiversity studies till date. According to this pattern, the species diversity follows a regular pattern as we move from the equator to the polar regions.

What are the patterns of biodiversity class 12?

Species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Tropics harbor more species than temperate or polar areas. Colombia located near the equator has nearly 1,400 species of birds while New York at 41° N has 105 species and Greenland at 71° N only 56 species.

Which of the following are patterns of biodiversity?

1. Biodiversity is not uniform throughout the world but varies with latitude and altitude. 2. Favourable environmental conditions favour speciation and make it possible for a larger number of species to exist there, i.e., biodiversity is more in such areas than the others.
