Here, taxonomic distinctness (AvTD and VarTD) varied with both latitude and depth, but the latitude patterns were weak overall.
In the deeper areas, AvTD and Var TD tended to decrease with increasing latitude following the more common diversity-latitude pattern.
This leads to the latitude dependent pattern of convective flow and to latitude dependent heat transport (cooling).
These offsets are removed by zeroing drift values at the low-latitude boundary of the high-latitude convection pattern.
We encourage others with similar databases to examine their data by weekly intervals, to distinguish patterns in adults from those in children, and to report information on latitude, temperature patterns, humidity, and other variables to allow for a consistent exploration of the influences on pneumococcal seasonality.
Over the years, several statistical models of the high-latitude convection pattern have been generated based on ionospheric data from a variety of both satellite and ground-based instruments.
There's thinking that this could have pronounced effects on things like middle latitude weather patterns".
According to Jordan's Rule [1], [2], the number of vertebrae is expected to increase towards higher latitudes-a pattern which has been observed also in the case of mean body size in several species of fishes [23].
Apart from that, there is no apparent latitudinal zonality in vesicomyids, such as a circum-tropical or high-latitude distribution pattern as documented for many regular deep-water animals.
In the 1960s, Penndorf (1965) associated the anomaly with high-latitude convection patterns, but later, this theory was rejected because the region near the Weddell Sea is located at mid-geomagnetic latitudes, which means high geographic latitudes.
The rarefaction technique, used to evaluate the expected pattern of biodiversity, showed a consistent pattern of increase in the richness of marine species toward tropical latitudes (Figure 10).
