Community structure of macromoths along altitudinal gradients in Korea
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2021 This study was aimed to (1) document the macromoth species richness and diversity along altitudinal gradients, (2) investigate the community structure along altitudinal gradients, and (3) analyze the similarity within each altitude using nonmetric ...

Interpopulation Plasticity in a Darkling Beetle Life-History along a Whole Oceanic Island Altitudinal Gradient [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Insects show remarkable phenotypic plasticity in response to changing environmental conditions. The abiotic factors that determine their phenotypes often vary in time and space, and oceanic islands harbour ideal environments for testing predictions on ...

Changes in Surface Soil Organic Carbon Fractions and Their Pool Management Indices Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Karst Mountains in Relation to the Expansion Degrees of Chimonobambusa utilis [PDF]
BiologySoil organic carbon fractions and pool management indices are critical for the ecosystem function of bamboo forests; however, their response to varying degrees of expansion of Chimonobambusa utilis (EDCU) and altitudinal gradients remains poorly ...

Compositional changes in bee and wasp communities along Neotropical mountain altitudinal gradient. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Climate conditions tend to differ along an altitudinal gradient, resulting in some species groups' patterns of lower species richness with increasing altitude.

Microbial carbon use efficiency along an altitudinal gradient [PDF]
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2022 Soil microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE), described as the ratio of growth over total carbon (C) uptake, i.e. the sum of growth and respiration, is a key variable in all soil organic matter (SOM) models and critical to ecosystem C cycling. However, there is still a lack of consensus on microbial CUE when estimated using different methods. Furthermore,

Epiphytic Orchid Diversity along an Altitudinal Gradient in Central Nepal. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Epiphytic orchids are common in subtropical forests, but little is known about the factors that determine their diversity. We surveyed two sites (north-facing Phulchowki and south-facing Shivapuri hills), in the sub-tropical forest in the Kathmandu valley, central Nepal. Along five transects per site, spanning an altitudinal gradient of 1525–2606 m a.s.
