Aim Latitudinal differences in diversity have long fascinated ecologists. It is unclear whether small soil animals such as nematodes show latitudinal differences in diversity. Based on hypotheses concerning the basis for greater tropical diversity, and by analogy with other groups, we predicted (1)...
