Places like the Tropical Andes in South America are simply packed with unique species, many of which cant be found in any other places. Until recently, the main explanation for the biological riches conce
9、ntrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that such places must be engines of biodiversity, with new species evolving at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head, instead of supporting the idea that areas with fewer s
10、pecies actually tend to produce new species faster.The researchers say these biodiversity “cold spots” are generally found in environments featuring freezing, dry and unstable conditions. Though the researchers found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they
11、fail to accumulate many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out.The more wellknown “hot spots” , by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers found that the countless b

Their analysis showed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Speciesrich areas tended
