Species richness is affected by many variables. As one travels to higher latitudes, one would expect ________.
the number of species to increase population viability to increase other factors to be more important than latitude the number of species to decrease the number of species to be maintained
As one travels to higher latitudes, one would expect the number of species to decrease. Generally, species richness tends to be higher in tropical regions and decreases as one moves towards the poles. This pattern is influenced by various factors, including climate, habitat diversity, and historical biogeography.
