AB - correspondence To the Editor — Long-term environmental We must now work out which geological stability has long been thought to lead to processes are most relevant, and how the accumulation of species and, therefore, geology and climate together inu fl ence higher diversity . However, species richness the evolutionary process. New molecular and the time available for speciation often do techniques, advanced reconstructions of not correlate across the tree of life . Instead, Earth surface processes and a growing it has emerged that geologically dynamic scientific interest in interdisciplinary projects (rather than stable) areas around the world will open new avenues to explore how 3–5 sustain higher biodiversity . We argue uplift of the world’s mountains interacts that mountain building, driven by plate with biodiversity. ❐ tectonics or volcanism, creates landscape References and climatic changes, ecological gradients 1.
