Biogeography of photoautotrophs in the high polar biome

Biogeography of photoautotrophs in the high polar biome

The global latitudinal gradient in biodiversity weakens in the high polar biome and so an alternative explanation for distribution of Arctic and Antarctic photoautotrophs is required. Here we identify how temporal, microclimate and evolutionary drivers of biogeography are important, rather than th...
