Ecologist have proposed following explanation to lead maximize biodiversity at tropic.

A. Higher productivity in the tropics allows for more species present

 B. Old communities have greater species than younger community

 C. Natural enemies such as predators and parasite limit competition in the tropics, which allows more species to coexist

D. Very less intensity of disturbances in the tropics promote high succession diversity

Two major sources of mutation are radiation and reactive oxygen species (ROS).The reactive oxygen species hypothesis for aging postulates that 

1) Senescence results from the accumulation of DNA, lipid, and protein damage inflicted by ROS of mitochondrial origin; and

2) Mitochondria of long-lived species should produce high ROS than do mitochondria of short-lived species.

3) the capacity of mitochondria to consume ROS might distinguish long-lived species from short-lived species, rather than differences in ROS generation.
