BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, Dec. 11 (TNSJou) -- Louisiana State University issued the following news release:
The Amazon rainforest may be a hotspot for animal and plant diversity, but this week, LSU scientists report that new species actually form there less often than previously thought. Places like deserts and mountaintops that do not have a lot of species provide more opportunity for rapid diversification. This paradox of diversity - that new species form at a faster pace in "c . . .
