WikiProject Evolutionary biology

(Rated B-class, Top-importance)

This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biology

Distribution: Latitudinal Gradients[edit]

Not a biologist, but this sentence doesn't seem accurate or consistent with the rest of the article:

"Several ecological factors may contribute to the gradient, but the ultimate factor behind many of them is the greater mean temperature at the equator compared to that of the poles."

I would imagine it's less about temperature per se than available solar energy, no? The latter being the cause for the former, and also the cause of the higher average primary productivity of equatorial ecosystems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.193.40.5 (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
