Speciation and extinction rates determine an ecosystem's diversity, with more speciation increasing diversity and more extinction decreasing it.
As taxas de especiação e extinção determinam a diversidade em um ecossistema: mais especiação leva a mais diversidade, enquanto mais extinção leva a menos diversidade.
