- The link to latitude and environmental harshness is interpretive rather than directly tested with geographic or metabolic data. — Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
- Tropical regions are described as having higher species richness, older species, and lower speciation and extinction rates than temperate regions. — Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
- The model suggests metabolic-demand differences could contribute to biodiversity gradients alongside other mechanisms. — Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
- The proposed explanation is that harsher environments impose stronger metabolic demands and stronger selection on mito-nuclear function. — Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
