Andes
Steep gradients in temperature and rainfall and Earth's highest biodiversity make this a perfect laboratory for studying species distributions and climate change. Find out more...

Amazon

Paleo
Theories of community structure are usually tested using space as a proxy for time. Paleoecology allows us to look at time directly.
