Because much of North America was covered by glaciers during the last ice age, the evolutionary period for plant and animal species living today has been much shorter than for those species native to tropical and subtropical regions. As a result, ecosystems in the North are not so intricately diverse as ecosytems in parts of the hemisphere.
