Geographic patterns of diversification and the latitudinal gradient of richness of rocky intertidal gastropods: the 'into the tropical museum' hypothesis

Aim To evaluate the existence of a latitudinal gradient of richness (LGR) in rocky intertidal gastropods and the role of evolutionary processes in shaping the LGR. Location The entire eastern Pacific coast, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, encompassing
