Drivers of Collembola assemblages along an altitudinal gradient in northeast China. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Abstract Altitudinal changes in the diversity of plants and animals have been well documented; however, soil animals received little attention in this context and it is unclear whether their diversity follows general altitudinal distribution patterns.

Leaf breakdown along an altitudinal stream gradient
Fundamental and Applied Limnology, 1998 Breakdown of alder (Alnus glutinosa) leaf litter was followed in fourteen sampling stations along a 1400 m altitudinal gradient of a 1st to 3rd-order undisturbed stream. Altitudinal patterns of leaf mass loss, nitrogen concentration in the leaves, fungal biomass determined as ergosterol content, and numbers and biomass of shredders and total ...

Epiphytic Orchid Diversity along an Altitudinal Gradient in Central Nepal [PDF]
Plants, 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.

Effects of slope aspect on altitudinal pattern of soil C:N:P stoichiometry in alpine forest of Tibet [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Knowledge of altitudinal patterns in soil C, N and P distribution is important for understanding biogeochemical processes in mountainous forests, yet the influence of slope aspects on soil stoichiometry has been largely neglected in previous studies.

Altitudinal migration behavior patterns of birds on the eastern slope of Mt. Gongga, China
Avian Research, 2023 Many bird species in montane regions exhibit altitudinal migration behavior; however, altitudinal migration of birds is still understudied, especially in Asia. Mt. Gongga (7556 m) is the highest peak of the Hengduan Mountains in Southwest China.

Composition of Necrophagous Insect Assemblages in Altitudinal Gradient of Central Chile. [PDF]
InsectsThis study evaluated whether necrophagous arthropod assemblages, with emphasis on Calliphoridae (Diptera), differ among three sites in central Chile: Coastal (50 masl), Pre-mountain range (1000 masl), and High Andean (1800 masl). We analyzed differences in the abundance, richness, and community composition of arthropods associated with decomposed bait.

Behavioural tuning in a tropical amphibian along an altitudinal gradient [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2017 Males of the coqui treefrog,Eleutherodactylus coqui, produce a distinct two-note ‘co-qui' advertisement call from sunset to midnight throughout most of the year. Previous work established that both the spectrotemporal aspects of the call and the frequency of highest inner-ear sensitivity change with altitude above sea level.

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 ...
