The trend exchange for increasing biodiversity from the poles to the tropics is one of the best-known patterns in nature. This latitudinal gradient has primarily been documented using extant species as the disperse of biodiversity.

Eo et al. (2008) evaluated this cycle by looking at the dimensions of genetic divergence among populations within 45 species of plants.

They expected the divergence aggregate populations would exhibit a be like latitudinal gradient, and build that populations at let latitudes (closer to the equator) were more disparate than those at higher latitudes.

These results suggest that tropical peaks in speciation rates are associated with observed levels of plant species richness.
