Re: Altitude vs. Latitude
The eastern seaboard (as far as I can determine - I could be wrong) has a lower level of biodiversity overall at the same latitudes.

I find it interesting that all the spots you mentioned are also comparatively young in geological terms. As with Galapagos, I would think the availability of open niches might play a part in the levels of biodiversity found there.
