Global richness of vertebrates (birds, mammals and amphibians) and topography. A long-standing hypothesis suggests that montane biodiversity hotspots result from endemic species aggregating within ecologically stable localities. B. Crossref; . Professor Carsten Rahbek (Globe Institute, Kbenhavns Universitet) To simulate the emergence of biodiversity, the most important processes to integrate into the model are ecology (i.e. In addition to contemporary conditions, deep-time historical processes, such as geological events (e.g. In these two review papers for Science, printed in a thematic issue focusing on Alexander von Humboldt's contribution to science, we describe the climatic and geological impacts on ecological and evolutionary processes in mountains. Mountain regions are unusually biodiverse, with rich aggregations of small-ranged species that form centers of endemism. The findings are published online this week in Nature Geoscience. Biodiversity in the Andes results from a long and complex history mediated by ecological, historical, and evolutionary processes. Building mountain biodiversity: geological and evolutionary processes. This process refers to the observation that the . Building mountain biodiversity:geological and evolutionary processes. Another part of the explanation of the high biodiversity of certain mountains is linked to the geological dynamics of mountain building. Building mountain biodiversity: Geological and evolutionary processes. (2019). Mountain building, climate cycling, and montane environmental gradients played an important part in species richness and spatial patterns in the Andes. . The complexity of mountains is tightly associated with high biodiversity, but the processes underlying this association are poorly known. Alpine, but not montane, seed plants constitute a biogeographically and climatically distinct species pool across the . Imaging the various surveys in order to locate the 4D difference at its true geological location; Running a preliminary analysis of the results to ensure the reservoir evolution (porosity, permeability) and possible subsidence effects have physical meaning; Presenting status reports to the clients each week We unveil additional links between mountain-building processes and biodiversity: species richness correlates with erosion rates and heterogeneity of soil types, with a . Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the world's species. These geological processes, interacting with complex climate changes through time, provide ample opportunities for evolutionary processes to act. 282 20151116 . Science 365 (6458), 1114-1119 , 2019 Richardson, K., Rosing, M. T., Whittaker, R. J., & Fjelds, J. We argue that mountain building, driven by plate tectonics or volcanism, creates landscape and climatic changes, ecological gradients and physical habitats that set the stage for species evolution.. The rich biodiversity in mountains is widely regarded as having Mountains play an array of roles for Earth's biodiversity and affect neighboring lowlands through biotic interchange, changes in regional climate, and nutrient runoff. It is now widely accepted that these largescale processes play a fundamental role in biotic evolution across space and time. The growth of mountain ranges in the South Island has directly influenced the evolution of New Zealand freshwater fish species, according to new research from GNS Science and the Universities of Otago and Tasmania. Krner 2003. Science 365 (6458), 1114-1119 , 2019 What is . We exemplify these links and discuss other factors, such as Quaternary climatic variations, which may have obscured some mountainbuilding evidence due to erosion and other processes. Prior studies of Mesozoic biodiversity document a diversity peak for dinosaur species in the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, yet have failed to provide explicit causal mechanisms. "Geological processes as well as global temperature fluctuations determine where and when species emerge or go extinct." . We provide evidence that a marked increase in North American dinosaur biodiversity can be attributed to dynamic orogenic episodes within the Western Interior Basin (WIB). Building mountain biodiversity: Geological and . Solving this puzzle requires researchers to generate more primary data, and better integrate available geological and climatic data into biological models of diversity and evolution. Mountain building driven by plate tectonics and volcanism provokes many geological disasters, . Mountain building involves many geological processes operating on a broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales, shaped by interactions from the mantle to the biosphere and atmosphere. Rangel et al. Here, we integrate multiple datasets to assess the relationships between species richness in mountains, geology and climate at global and regional scales. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity and the formation of mountains remain poorly understood. The geologically "active region," which extends from the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast, has experienced several episodes of mountain-building and volcanic activity, and as. Topographic diver-sity gradients from the present day and the past can result from the generation We use the isotopic fingerprint of climate, biodiversity and geodynamic processes to understand Earth System dynamics in the geologic past. linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in .

Nevertheless, the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying this extraordinary richness remain uncertain. Reconstructing the interplay between global climate change and mountain building allows us to establish climate change histories that may serve as templates for future climate projections. Mountainous areas (especially in the tropics) also happen to be extremely rich in biodiversity: they host roughly 87% of all terrestrial species, while only occupying around 15% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. mountain building) or long-term climatic fluctuations that potentially affect the rates of in situ speciation and/or extinction of lineages, need to be considered (Ricklefs, Latham, & Qian, 1999), which may act in parallel on species richness . Science, 2019b The processes of natural selection and species evolution also result in changes to local and global flora and fauna. 2019; 365: 1114-1119.

Abstract. Mountain regions comprise the large majority of the global biodiversity hotspots and it is argued that species diversification is associated with mountain building through changes in landscape and climate followed by formation of varied and heterogeneous habitats along the elevational gradients ( Hoorn et al., 2013 ). Mountain Building. between plate tectonics and mountain building, climate change and erosion over time scales extending to millions of years. In the past 40 million years, there has been a sharp increase in global tectonic activity and associated orogeny [].These geological processes, in turn, have resulted in many climatic and environmental changes, which have strongly influenced regional biological diversification [].Among the global biodiversity hotspots, mountains surrounding the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are . Science, 365 (6458 . "The global pattern of biodiversity shows that mountain biodiversity exhibits a visible signature of past evolutionary processes. The summit of Mount Everest: five and half miles above sea level, buried in snow and ice are marine fossils, which were deposited in a shallow sea a hundred million years ago and uplifted by unimaginable forces. Science 365, 1114-1119 (2019). Dansk Naturhistorisk Forening. Geologic history (plate tectonics and orogenic or mountain-building activity), landforms (geomorphology), and lithology (parent material and substrate) influence ecological and evolutionary processes and contribute to both macro- and micro-scale patterns of biogeography. 2018).Although mountain regions contribute disproportionally to plant diversity (Krner 2021), the reasons for this are not yet fully understood and current hypotheses still fail to completely "explain this Humboldt . With the new '3D' floristic approach by Li et al., in combination with the rich toolbox provided by modern biogeography and geology with related science branches, genomics, as well as bioinformatics, and building on Humboldts idea of exploring the relationship between geodiversity and biodiversity, we have never been closer to truly . Together with ecological interactions among organisms, they form the basis for modern biogeography. C. Rahbek et al., Building mountain biodiversity: Geological and evolutionary processes. (2019). Key roles of mountains for biodiversity Over long periods of time, topographic, geological, and geophysical conditions modify the rates and properties of four key processes that determine the distribution and diversity of life on Earth: speciation, dispersal, persistence, and extinction ( Table 1 ).

The story of how they got there is one of the most fascinating stories in geology. Rahbek, Carsten; Borregaard, Michael Krabbe; Alexandre Antonelli; Robert K . These geological processes, interacting with complex climate changes through time, provide ample opportunities for evolutionary processes to act. Mountain regions consist primarily of slopes, where gravity and weathering processes create increased gradients of bio-geochemical processes, resulting in increased physico-chemical impacts on abiotic ecosystem processes and living conditions; 2) 2 Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Passeig .

M ountains are topographically complexregions formed by the interplay of tec- tonic and volcanic processes. Here, we examine the processes that generate high richness in the Tropical Andes relative to other regions in South America and across different elevations within the Andes, using frogs as a model system. They are intrinsically unstable systems, under- going substantial changes in response Place: Universitetsparken 15, Bygning 1, Auditorium A, 2100 Kbenhavn . INTRODUCTION. Geology plays a fundamental role in shaping the biotic world around us. Latitudinal and elevational gradients are increasingly investigated to understand ecological and evolutionary processes underlying patterns of biodiversity (e.g. They are also cradles to all major river systems and home to unique, and. Mountains, with their uniquely complex environments and geology . Geological processes such as mountain building and erosion, changes in sea-level, and changes in climate cause significant, long-term changes to the structural and spatial characteristics of global biodiversity. Studies of the Papuan region have provided fundamental insights into both the evolutionary processes generating its exceptional biodiversity, as well support for alternative hypotheses of geological history. of species distributions and community assembly can provide valuable insights into the biogeographical and ecological processes that generate biodiversity . Climate change in high-mountain regions: An international perspective and a look at the Pyrenees Les altes muntanyes sn una de les regions ms afectades pel canvi climtic. Here, the persistence of ancient lineages coincides with frequent speciation events, making such areas both 'cradles' (where new species arise) and 'museums' (where old species survive). Another part of the explanation of the high biodiversity of certain mountains is linked to the geological dynamics of mountain building. (A) Regions with multiple long-lived geological and climatic processes modulating the landscape (region 1) may lead to greater landscape change (middle) and therefore generate higher rates of genetic diversification and speciation (right) than areas with fewer processes (region 2). it was not until 2020 that a high-resolution study of climate evolution was conducted in this mountain range (Amblar-Francs et .

Mountains are topographically complex formations that play a fundamental role in regional and continental-scale climates. 178 PDF View 16 excerpts, cites background These geological processes, interacting with complex . Evolutionary radiations resulting in exceptionally species-rich clades are shaping current patterns of biodiversity in the plant kingdom [1, 2].Large numbers of evolutionary radiations have been recorded in alpine plant groups [], and references therein, contributing to the high species diversity of vascular plants found in many mountain systems [4, 5]. The high biodiversity of certain mountains reflects the interplay of multiple evolutionary mechanisms: enhanced speciation rates with distinct opportunities for coexistence and persistence of lineages, shaped by long-term climatic changes interacting with topographically dynamic landscapes. Mountain regions are unusually biodiverse, with rich aggregations of small-ranged species that form centers of endemism. we determined that the evolution of leaf wing polymorphism was a gradual process in which toolkit genes were involved in . Biological evolution is complex and the buildup of mountains is certainly not the only explanation, but biological and geological processes are probably more . Mountains play an array of roles for Earth's biodiversity and affect. Here, we integrate multiple datasets to assess the relationships between species richness in mountains, geology and climate at global and regional scales .
