According to Ecologists and Evolutionary Biologists, the probable reason for speciation in tropics is not

(1) Speciation is generally a function of time, more time without environmental disturbances better chance of speciation

(2) No frequent glaciation unlike temperate regions in the past

(3) Constant environment supports niche specialisation

(4) Tropics had more adapted animals and had a high rate of reproduction so there is more diversity
