WHY IS MEXICO MEGADIVERSE?



LOCATION

Most megadiverse countries lie in tropical regions. Tropical regions are more
biodiverse. With exception of the northern part of the country, Mexico lies in
the tropics extending from 32° North above the Tropic of Cancer (Baja California
Norte)  south to 14° Norte (Chiapas).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

When the landmasses of North and South America first made contact roughly 3
million years ago, and became joined by the Isthmus of Panama, a transition zone
with a rich mixture of fauna and flora originated. This unique zone is a belt
stretching from coast to coast over today’s Mexico. Central and western flyways
of North American bird migrations pass through Mexico, enriching its avifauna
during the winter months.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITY

Complex geography always translates into diversity of habitats, soils and
climates. Mexico is an extremely varied country with oceans on both sides and
great altitudinal range.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIZE

Larger countries have bigger diversity of habitats, which means  more species.
Mexico is 14th largest country on the planet with 1,972,550 km2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GLACIATION AND ISLAND EFFECT

There are dozens of islands on Mexican territory. These are often home to unique
species of animals and plants. Unique species can also be found in so called
glacial refugia – geographic regions which made possible the survival of flora
and fauna in times of ice ages.

With that, Hublot continues with its assault of infiltrating all types of
replica watches sale sports. While this might not win the approval of many
replica watches sale WIS, it will more than likely continue to make Hublot
successful and help sell more watches. Can you fault the good folks from Nyon,
for rolex replica uk capitalizing on this winning formula? Even if it's designed
for a small segment of the population... I think no. On a very personal note, I
never want to be the person hating on others' success. In fact, I strive and
replica watches uk try to applaud it and learn from it instead. Another thing
worth mentioning is that while it is replica watches uk unclear just how many
hardcore watch-lovers Hublot will keep on attracting to its corner, replica
watches sale it is easier to guess when it comes to the affluent people who feel
an attachment to one of the many sports, partner companies, or replica watches
uk ambassadors in Hublot's stable.
