Biotic rather than abiotic factors influence ground-dwelling mygalomorph spider assemblages along an altitudinal gradient in the Brazilian semi-arid domain [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaThe species richness of organisms associated with altitudinal gradients tends to decline with increasing altitude, however, this pattern is not observed in mygalomorph.

Spatial trends of Potamogetonaceae along an altitudinal gradient
Biologia, 2020 Studying the effect of altitude on species distribution may help us to predict the response of species to future climate changes, which will likely cause upward migration of vegetation zones. In this study, we aimed to analyze distribution and abundance patterns of Potamogetonaceae along an altitudinal gradient and to determine the species ...

Local adaptation with high gene flow: temperature parameters drive adaptation to altitude in the common frog (Rana temporaria) [PDF]
, 2014 Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to understanding the effect of environmental variation on populations.

Altitudinal Gradient of Evapotranspiration in Tropical Highlands
, 2022 Tropical highlands supply water for large cities in the Andes. Based on meteorological records from three weather stations in the paramo Chingaza, Colombia evapotranspiration (ET) is estimated based on the Penman-Monteith (P-M) approach to compare the altitudinal variation and assess the radiation and aerodynamic effects on the water losses. This study

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.
