I'm going to pretend that this is a true or false statement.


So, this would definitely be true. While some flora and fauna are definitely hardier (able to withstand extreme cold), most biodiversity would be clustered around the equator and/or the tropics because most animals can withstand warm temperatures, and warm temperatures also actually stimulate breeding and reproduction, which would promote biodiversity even more.
