Future Palaeontologists Will Detect Current Mammal Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Fossil data provide crucial insights into past biogeographic and macroecological patterns. However, geological, biological, and sampling biases can potentially compromise genuine biodiversity inferences. Here, we tested whether fossil biases may hinder the accurate retrieval of the Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient (LBG).
