Abstract:Biological diversity is not equally distributed across the Tree of Life, and the causes are not yet well defined. Nakov et al. investigate this by exploring the reasons behind diatoms’ uneven species richness across different environments. Simple traits are not enough to fully understand the variation in diatoms’ species richness. Therefore, investigating the role of habitat may improve our understanding of biodiversity patterns.
