The tropical regions have more spieces than temperate regions because these region

remain undisturbed due to less variable climatic conditions. So, tropics has a
longer evolutionary time for species diversification. The temperate enviroment are
more seasonal, less constant and unpredictable, therefore less niche specialization
and lesser species diversity are observed. the high temperatures in the tropics
cause higher rates of metabolism, ecological dynamics and coevolutionary processes,
which generate and maintain higher biodiversity. Tropical latitudes receive more
solar energy than temperate regions, which leads to high productivity and high
species diversity.Tropical regions have less seasonal variations and have a more or
less constant environment. This promotes the niche specialization and thus, high
species richness.
