According to evolution, biodiversity is typically high in mountain ranges. most likely because of tectonic activity and wide range of environments, However, mountain diversity often occurs within environments and in ranges that have long ceased being tectonically active.
As an example, Stokes et al. describe
diversification among lineages of a freshwater fish species that have an affiliation
with metamorphic rock.
So the science says that the environment has a say in the evolution of fish. This could also be due to intelligent design,.
