have many niches
It was proven that natural diversity grows with temperature.
rain forests
There is one more that has as much and that is the temperate rain forests. If you look carefully at their names, you will see something in common to both. Rain. This the main reason that both have the most diversity than any other place on Earth. Rain and warmish temperatures drive the diversity.
Tropical rain forests have more biological diversity than other places on earth because the conditions allow more organisms to live there. The rain forest gives many organisms suitable homes.
No, there are no tropical rain forests in Washington State. There are, however, temperate rain forests on the Olympic Peninsula. These rain forests are cooler in temperature than the tropical forests and house different species.
-Invasive species- When a new species that is not native moves into an area, it often won't have natural predators and can thus survive better than natives. They take over, and lower diversity levels by killing off other species -Keystone species- a keystone species is a species which many others in the food chain rely on, if the keystone species has a problem or decrease in population the diverersity of the population will also decrease. - Availability of resources- For instance food, shelter, nutrients, notice that rain forests which are abundant in rain forests show much diversity, while a tundra shows very little diversity. - Stability of the community- for instane, tempreture shifts will cause a decrease in diversity because certain species have a small range of tempreture that they can live in. This is why coral reefs are decreasing in diveristy, they are very limited in teh tempreture they can live in. I wouldn't agree that natural selection affects diversity levels as it is present at all times, in every ecosystem and does not fluctuate.
The teeming diversity of animals in the rainforest has lead to species specialization.

Tropical rain forests have hot, humid climate. It has a diversity of plants and wildlife.
Because they're pretty
It's the tropical rain forest.
