Article Synopsis
- Species that move north due to human-induced changes likely face less diverse communities, which might lead to less competition and predation, allowing them more opportunities in their new habitats.
- The study focused on oak gall wasps, particularly Neuroterus saltatorius, across a range from northern California to Vancouver Island, identifying 23 types of wasps and examining how their diversity followed a latitudinal gradient.
- Results showed that diversity of gall wasps decreased at higher latitudes, with fewer interactions observed among wasps in northern areas, suggesting that these low diversity settings could provide a competitive advantage for expanding species.
