Why are there so many species in the tropics? For centuries, scientists have been seeking for the causes of the latitudinal gradient in species diversity - a pattern that has been documented for most ...

Geographical gradients of body size express climate-driven constraints on animals, but whether they exist and what causes them in ectotherms remains contentious. For amphibians, the water conservation ...

A recent explanation for diversity gradients proposes a 'null model' based on how species ranges are constrained by the geometry of bounded domains. We conduct a test of this hypothesis by comparing ...

Understand what is Linear Regression Gradient Descent in Machine Learning and how it is used. Linear Regression Gradient Descent is an algorithm we use to minimize the cost function value, so as to ...
